Since I’ve been on Lemmy, I don’t know what my use is for Mastodon anymore. It’s dead on there anyway. I don’t have anyone to talk to and nobody responds to my posts.

    I felt like this the first time I made an account, but that’s because no one told me I had to follow hashtags, and I only used the official app where you can’t even do that!

    But now I know all that and I’m using a third-party app, my experience is much better. For example, I posted a question about a book series last night, added all the relevant hashtags and then this morning had about 8 or 9 replies from people all helping with my question.

    We’re so used to algorithms and being able to just search for particular keywords which will then show up that we’ve forgotten how social media used to work.

      I’m using the default mastodon app and I don’t have much replies too. May I know what 3rd party app you’re using?

        I can recommend Tusky, easy and simple. Otherwise Fedilab is nice too. Both for Android and available on f-droid.

        I’m using Tusky on Android. More features and more customisable to how I want it.

        If you’re on iOS, I’m not sure what apps are available on there.
