I use both. I've been on Mastodon for the better part of a year and only actively tried Bluesky the last couple months. My Bluesky feed is thriving, whereas Mastodon not so much. IMO this is due to Mastodon is missing the major quality of life features of Bluesky.

  • Add lists
  • Subscribable block lists
  • Custom subscribable topic feeds
  • Optional recommendation engine

These things make Bluesky very easy to get started with and more powerful even than Xitter was. It's simply a better product if you have any requirements other than federation. Getting a good feed up and running doesn't take more than an hour or two. Mastodon is a lot more work.

Subscribable block lists... I'm making an account.

Yeah this solves a lot of problems straight off the bat. Add me, I have a few posts at the beginning of my timeline that will help you get started.

The "starter packs" of Bsky is good, too. (Maybe that's your 'add lists' though.)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Yeah it's rhe add lists

I go over there and search for stuff, and the page is always broken. It's been like that for weeks. You only get one page of results, and then you get an error. The infinite scroll doesn't work.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

I just tested it in the app and it worked fine, scrolled for days with a common term like Ukraine.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Weird I never noticed. For me the amount of results depends on the search term. There may just be a few items with your term. Have you tried making a feed for it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

There is starter packs now but not many have been made and I forgot the website that you find them.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, not many, only 184,281 have been made

I was talking about mastodon starter packs.
