Small chances for now, but let's keep growing small communities here. People need to get tired of Instagram and centralized algorithms to switch to fediverse

I try to convince people to do “+1”. Like, keep X/insta/reddit or whatever, but every time you feel you have something to post, do the same at mastodon/pixelfed/lemmy. Those platforms are nothing without the network effects, and the network effects will diminish the more people do this.

I'd love it if the fediverse could have its own algoithms as long as theyre open sourced and made ethically, like they shouldn't mess with peoples mental health or cause social media addictions

Yes. People don't realize algorithms are one of the main reasons decentralized sited haven't taken off. Most people don't want to spend time looking for their content, they just want to log in, laugh at funny memes and look at pretty art

You are the algorithm. It's like going out decades ago. You didn't have an app to tell you which restaurant, bar or pub was good. You had to go and see it for yourself. Here is the same. You see people and you decide if it's good enough to follow them. The same with communities.
