I use twitter and I really like the furry art community on there. I also like Mastodon or related ActivityPub services.

Due to recent events lots of people search for alternatives and I feel just very frustrated see all those artists looking for Zucks Threads or Jacks Bluesky when Mastodon is right there, without a chance of a twitter situation ever happening again. They seem to avoid Mastodon like cats avoiding water.
What have we done wrong, and how can we make it better.

    I have exactly one account since the very early days. I somewhat would love to split in two or three for different niche interests on different servers but even i am somewhat paralysed by the choice which one

    and meow.social maybe i am stuck in the same trap as i try to contact someone there since a year without any reaction ever

      What I do is to search a handle on the other instance (e.g. search for @[email protected] in meow.social’s search box). I think if it shows up there (and is decently up to date), it means the instance hasn’t entirely defederated. I can’t say that this is 100% accurate though, or if it covers other things that can happen.
