As a software engineer I love the idea of the fediverse […] I use lemmy and mastodon daily but they just don’t have the content or the people
In a comment:
Can I ask how does Mastodon actually work? I lurk on lemmy cause it works like Reddit but for the life of me can’t figure out how to have some engagement or anything at all on M (i’m on “mas.to”)
He complains about there not being content on Mastodon while not even knowing how it works. Some software engineer he is.
To be fair, mastodon does have a problem of discoverability. Your shit isn’t automatically publicly federated to other instances, even when someone from said instance is following and interacting with you. IE: your account on mas.to received a comment and was retooted by someone on to.mas. Other accounts on to.mas that check their public timeline won’t necessarily see that original mas.to toot.

Yeah… I mean, I’ve an internet dweller for a long time, and I have to stop and wrap my head around that.
It’s a vibe coders probably. Not a real software engineer
