      It’s like saying “people share photos and videos all the time on Twitter. What is the difference with Instagram?”

      Everything on Fedi is just different interfaces and perf from the user perspective.

      People want to continue to use something close to Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter but not be locked to their enshitified companies who decide what they get to see.

      Many that come over find out there’s no algorithm and that they have to follow people to get any content, they find they miss the doom scroll and go straight back.

      Better UI and a better discover page mainly. Plus it’s gotten a lot of organic advertising just from luck and people talking about it, and no obvious competitor like Bluesky

        Yes. No transcoding, but that’s actually a feature as far as I’m concerned.
