I wanted to get into Mastodon, but I can see why it didn't take off as much compared to Bluesky. It didn't prepopulate the home feed on first sign up (it was empty), and only gives a small selection of people to follow and you only see their posts. Bluesky does a similar thing, but the home feed uses suggestions based on the people you initially follow to populate the home feed with others as well.
I think mass adoption would be easier for Mastodon to achieve with that kind of algorithmically generated prepopulation.
Also obligatory Fuck X.
mastodon/the fediverse could learn a lot in taking the ability or users to create custom feeds, labellers, and moderation services like on bsky, honestly.
