@feditips This is one of the biggest sticking points for new folks to fedi. While many of us who 'live' here see this as a vast improvement over how things used to be, they're used to the algorithmic monoculture so this feels hopelessly difficult to them, not in terms of mechanics but in. terms of activation energy, and I have no concept of how we'd even fix that.

@feditips If you’re on MacOS or iOS and don’t mind a little setup I have been using this shortcut successfully. https://www.macstories.net/ios/masto-redirect-a-mastodon-shortcut-to-redirect-profiles-and-posts-to-your-own-instance/

@feditips When will someone make an app so that as a user I can follow anyone in it? FB, Twitter, mastodon, fediverse, youtube, etc. I don't want a thousand apps, or even ten apps. I want one feed app and an open interoperable internet full of standards.

@feditips one of the problems is that it's never quite clear what comes over from one service to the other. I can see bookwyrm reviews on mastodon, but I only can see comments on my reviews. Same with lemmy for example. And pixelfed. I still don't get what funkwhale is supposed to do.
Friendica can also share stuff that's not visible by mastodon (rss articles, or diaspora posts).

It's all a bit unclear how this is all supposed to work together.

@feditips this was probably the hardest part of the mastodon learning curve for me!

@feditips this is far too much work

@feditips once or every session?
