       Why do people go to Bluesky? Because it's complicated to pick a server? Because it's hard to search? Because it's not VC-backed and sustainability is a concern? :blobcatnotlikethis:

       Why did the Elk people give up on building Elk and all go to Bluesky? I'd like to ask them why they left the fediverse. :blobcatthink:

       When I was talking to my wife (@tokolovesme), who still primarily uses X, about this topic, she said that she feels isolated whenever she uses Mastodon. In particular, when you're on a low-population server, you can't easily search for other people's posts, you can't see all the replies to the posts that flow in, and you actually see far fewer favorites and reposts. All of this makes the fediverse feel less lively.

       The loss of replies, favorites, etc. when crossing server boundaries, as well as the search issues, seems like something that should be fixed as soon as possible…

       @hongminheeconversation containers by @mikedev solve that problem. With this mechanism in place not only replies are synchronized, but also reactions and edits - everything that happens in a conversation.It also enables reply controls, private groups and (better) followers-only posts.
