Bluesky Has a New App, and It’s All About AI

Jay Graber is not CEO anymore, but that doesn't mean she hasn't been busy.

I guess I’m glad I was never a big Twat, so Bluesky wasn’t a place of refuge for me the way Lemmy was when Reddit went off the rails.

      Dude, not trying to throw shade at Mastodon, but where on Lemmy I get tons of interaction, on Pixelfed and Loops I get a solid amount and on Bluesky I get plenty in comments and some on my own posts…

      I have had ZERO ANYTHING on Mastodon, and the content I post is more or less the same as the others. The app looks sleek and upload quality is better than the others, but it feels like being shadowbanned on Meta… Photos, memes, text, political, personal, you name it, nothing.

      I make a point to use each of these apps once a day. No one is reciprocating anything on Mastodon. Again, it feels like being shadowbanned. I honestly hate it at this point. I’m trying to engage with those people and they’re giving me nothing.

      Maybe it’s literally a technical issue, no joke. Or maybe I’m like the old lady in the “If my phone isn’t broken then why don’t my relatives call me?” story

      EDIT: I’m surprised to hear I’m not alone. I thought my little rant would get downvoted. Well, dang! We need to fix Mastodon then!

        For me it’s not as bad as you described, people reply if i ask something or comment but i don’t know how to find the content and the people that I’d like to follow. I do follow some accounts that I like but still my feed feels dead :( I think Lemmy is easier because it’s a “subject/interest first” place whereas mastodon (or twitter) is “people first” place. I was never a twitter fan either so I actually don’t quite know what to expect from it neither.

        I still keep visiting Mastodon after I get angry to Instagram though, which happens quite often (I know mastodon is a twitter alt and we have pixelfed for ig)

          Making your posts available for search on Mastodon is opt-in through the use of hashtags. That makes it very difficult to find people to follow.

            I tried following hashtags but then my feed was overflowed with a few of them, i couldn’t see the posts from the accounts i followed so I dropped them :/
