   For all the great aspects of Mastodon, let's also be honest and mention its shortcomings: 1) no easy way to discover content 2) most instances have poor, default landing pages that explain nothing 3) no algorithm at all - chronological order is fine, but I'd want to also see the most popular or most relevant content for me (when I need it, not by default) #mastodon

     Unfortunately it seems that nobody at the helm of Mastodon development cares about fixing any of these 3 basic issues. You know what to do. If you care about them too, Boost.

     @boilingsteam As far as I understand it they do indeed care about these issues - however, they chose not to approach them the easy way or the way other platforms did, which drove unbecoming traits among the user base.

     Like, there's an understandable reason why you can't quote reply. One may not like it, but that's how things are handled here. And I do think it's the Fediverse's strength that it chose a different route.

     @boilingsteam 1/ Don’t care, I discover it by my first contact, and step by step, I now have an already very full TL. 2/ That’s true. 3/ Don’t care. We are on a social network.

     We do not have the same desires, Mastodon does not seek to replace Twitter. It’s just another network, with another operation. Users choose what they want.

     If the third point is for you the main interest of Twitter, stay there, it seems perfectly suited to me. Personally, it is the social exchange that counts the most.
