Within the first hour of threads going live, about a dozen of those im following on ig have joined (and began posting). When it’s fully federated, could this be the entry level platform the fediverse needs to push it into average use? I have a slight feeling it’ll be a BeReal type scenario where people use it for a few months and then move on, but id be stoked to be able to have my friends and family see my posts on mastodon/lemmy.
Agreed, to a point. I do like the smaller communities but on the other hand I also want mastodon to be a larger blip on the overall perception so we get first-hand content creators instead of having to resort to bots copying over tweets since none of the original people want to bother with it.
