It became the only reliable source of information I had. People posted links with a minimal amount of commentary, picking and choosing the best content from other social media networks. They’re not doing it to “build a brand” because that’s not a thing in the Fediverse. It’s too disjointed to be a place to build a newsletter subscription base.

Interesting, that never occurred to me. I said that about the wheelhouse because I have a Mastodon account I read from time to time and I can't recall ever seeing any Lemmy content show in my feed. I never did Twitter though so I'm kind of lost, it might be I just don't know what I'm doing. I followed like 40 hashtags but I still don't get a huge amount of content.

@HAL_9_TRILLION @grue It looks like this! I looked up the comment URL on my mastodon account, which enabled me to reply from there.
