Don't replace X with Bluesky! Go to Mastodon and other Federalised platforms. That is the only way to escape corporate-sponsored fascism.

Not sure if you were joking but Mastodon has substantially more users than Lemmy.

Averaging 1 million users/month versus Lemmy's 50k.

And yet, I feel like I struggle to find relevant content more on Mastodon than on Lemmy. Maybe I just still don't know how to Mastodon.
