I truly do not get it. I hate everything lizard boy touches :(
Nerds, geeks and general outsiders like and look for things like Mastodon and the fediverse, the majority of people just want convenience and ease of access and things like Twitter and Threads have that. Until celebrities and companies join the fediverse you won't get normal people and at that point it won't be any different from Twitter. I like Mastodon but it has nothing on the ease and just general amount of everything that Twitter has which is what brings in users.

Of topic, but wtf is that logo?
Sure, it's a tangled thread, but is that it?
It looks like it could be a C or E, but that doesn't seem meaningful.

"No corporate bullshit! It's ruined twitter!"
"OK maybe some corporate bullshit, I'm sure Facebook will be better."
you think they know?
you think that Instagram users have any idea about what they are getting into?
most of them probably don't even know that Instangram is owned by Meta / Facebook, despite the small logo.
let them take baby steps
I'm using the Thunder app to access my lemmy.world account. Is Mastodon also Lemmy? Can I browse lemmy.world and mastodon at the same time? I'm so new and vv confused.
Not really.
They're both fediverse, but one is designed to follow communities, and the other is designed to follow people. A Mastodon user sees a community as a user, and can thus subscribe to it. There's not really a way for a Lemmy user to do the inverse and subscribe to a user.
If you want a platform that does both (can subscribe to both communities and users), check out Kbin.
Shameless self promotion and brands or furries talking infosec.
If that's the choice, the furries... But I think there's starting to be a lot of legit people on Mastodon, no? I just can't get into the whole following people thing though, it's just all so....public..... [Shuffles back into the dark anonymous safety of Lemmy]
