Mastodon is the federated equivalent of twitter the same way lemmy can be considered the federated alternative of reddit. That's the nice Twitter alternative you are looking for.
This is what I've been telling everyone. Don't go to threads, go to mastodon.
This would be great but most people will not care and sacrifice data for convinence. Wish the government cared as much about us big tech as they did TikTok.
They only attacked TikTok because it's Chinese, though. Their own data thieves are OK cause they're buddies.
Of course. That's my point. All big tech needs to be held to that standard but it doesn't.
Also calckey is pretty cool too
Is there a way to see recent popular posts? That’s like the only thing missing for me.
No, mastodon is for following people or specific communities… it is specifically NOT for listening to or speaking to the whole world.
Not that you’ve said that, it makes perfect sense for me why mastodon is the way it is.
Ive been using wefwef since the loss of Apollo / reddit, it works pretty well and allows to sort posts or comments accordingly. If you want to see what’s going on right now you can go to your all feed and set it to the most recent posts. Also has a bunch of other sorting options. Like hot and active.
Sounds interesting. I’ll definitely check out if they come up with an app for iOS in the future.
WefWef is an web app, you can already install it on iOS through the browser.
