Threads, owned by Meta, has reached more than 275 million monthly users this month.

In the last week, following the U.S. presidential election, Bluesky confirmed that it gained over 700,000 new users, with more than 14.5 million users globally. Mastodon, meanwhile, has expanded from 3.5 million users in November 2022 to almost 9 million this month.

For anyone here who wants to switch to Mastodon, I recommend checking this guide first:

And don’t expect it to be Twitter. Expect better.

I’d ignore step 4 and stick to hashtags only… from there you’ll end up finding interesting people anyway.

It really depends what you’re after. You’ll find cool people by following hashtags, certainly, but if there’s somebody in particular you like, follow the person, too. Do both.

Also, some people bring their bad habits from Xitter and the rest, so it helps to have all the options.
