@[email protected] Again, Bluesky Is A Normal Website
-
@[email protected] yeah. it’s hard to get engagement there. if I post something here at least one person interacts with it most of my stuff is crickets on bsky and I don’t care for building an audience again
-
@[email protected] we get a decent amount of engagement there but yeah it's definitely not The Same; but we were in early (like, 'before 50K early') which helped a lot lol
-
@[email protected] fr im glad I was not on bsky during the early days and I joined during the peak when they already had like 20+ million users or whatever
-
@[email protected] is it bad to say that sometimes I just go there to post explicitly because I know I won’t receive attention or be in a spotlight?
-
@puppygirlhornypost2 @oracle honestly I just think people on bsky don’t care about genuine content via discover unfortunately. So unless it is some meme or hot(not) take it goes nowhere. Though I have absolutely no basing for this, just vibes.
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] I even resorted to posting nudes on there to see if I could get more attention and like only one person liked them and they were from fedi
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] I posted queer bait memes, and still nothing
-
@puppygirlhornypost2 @oracle @arctic personally i never really found any audience in bluesky, i always post about how much fedi sucks for artists but at least in here i can post something cute and people would share it, in there? nothing, zero, nada.
-
@puppygirlhornypost2 @oracle @arctic posted several comics over there, interacted with the community, had connections
how many likes i got? 2.
two.
and yes i know that's not a measure of success but come on.
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] yeah I genuinely don’t get it I have like 200 followers or whatever and apart from fedi people I get zero interaction unless it’s a blue moon
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] I mean yes I like talking to fedi people on bsky but I joined it to see people I couldn’t see already.
-
@puppygirlhornypost2 @oracle @arctic yeah then i have people going like "lmao idiot you just dont know how to bluesky, it's so much better than fedi" then i get my ass subposted
like, good for y'all that you're enjoying it but i quite enjoy like... the locality of fedi? i like how you can just join an instance of like-minded people and make art and those like-minded people would share your art into the entire fediverse
this doesn't happen on bluesky, because it feels more like you're joining a huge crowd of people all talking at once as they walk past eachother into random directions, like new york
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] this is because the protocol was designed for that. fedi is meant to be a bunch of interconnected communities so we have a sense of locality
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] reading this thread is super surprising to me because like I have this same experience but completely visa versa and idk why it's like that.
Like I've posted super high effort stuff (several weeks of work), with all the relevant hashtags and stuff here and it's gotten two reactions. Two likes. My posts on bsky at least always get seen by my main mutuals and reacted to. For art, like it's even better I even get like reactions and replies from people I haven't interacted with before and it's great. -
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] as, like an example:
- posted about a game I made on fedi: https://transfem.social/notes/a1kywxd9e52u004x
(7 likes, 2 reposts - this is by my fedi experience, really good, so not complaining about this, but I should note that most likes were mutuals and all replies were mutuals)
- posted about the same game on Bsky: https://bsky.app/profile/kirancodes.me/post/3lcvgarijbs2w
(43 likes, 11 reposts, lots of reactions from mutuals, but exciting for me as an artist, most of the replies are cool people I've never met before it's so exciting!!) -
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] or more me complaining about fedi (the reactions of the original post have kinda increased a bit since then but it still sucked to see at the start with only 2 reactions)
RE: https://transfem.social/notes/a1cm9z8omq970120 -
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] i still post more I guess on fedi, because I guess i just use my account as a venting place while try to at least be a little less unhinged on bsky. I guess the lack of reactions on fedi kinda helps a bit here because I can treat it like my personal diary and I guess only occasionally people will see my posts and otherwise I'm screaming into the void
-
@kirancodes @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] fedi is definitely interesting. I feel bad for some of my mutuals that are in Europe and I can barely ever see them bc timezones
