The biggest loss here is that I follow a lot of artists on Twitter and when it goes kaput I won't have easy access to follow them.

Any chance they move to the fediverse?

[-] magic_lobster_party@kbin.run 37 points 5 months ago

Probably near zero chance. Fediverse is dead empty compared to the alternatives, so not ideal if they want to reach out to their fans.

You know, that's a bit chicken-egg, right? Like, platforms don't magically get users, those users need a reason to want to be there.

[-] silverbax@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

In my personal (and therefore, limited) experience, engagement is much harder to get in the fediverse. I hope it improves, but it's not easy to find people you don't know in order to follow them, and vice versa.

i think the reddit/lemmy format is more suited to following communities not people

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

And Lemmy doesn't have a button to follow individual users or have a multireddit, for them or for some communities. On Reddit I had my porn subs collected into one tab (+Friends tab) and this didn't show anywhere else, but there it's only solvable by creating another account on lemmynsfw for that while banning all porn on your main acc. Following one creator without their own /c/ is a problem.

IIRC Wordpress had plugins to autorepost into other places. Maybe if Lemmy had one, it could've been perceived as less isolated by OC authors. For now you need to put effort to post a thing there too, for the sake of a small 1 mil userbase.

Kbin had them (called collection)

Hopefully mbin will catch up: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/issues/547

My bet is most will go either with bluesky or threads, because "everyone is (moving) there"

[-] HatchetHaro@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 5 months ago

Quite a few of the artists I follow on Xitter have already prepared backup Bluesky accounts.

[-] Domille@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 months ago

I bet they are all on bsky

[-] Aeri@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

The issue is that even if half of them go there, the rest are scattered to the wind, and you're not guaranteed to find them again.

[-] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 4 points 5 months ago

Most people are on multiple platforms. Find them now, while you still can. Save whatever contact info you can for them. You don't know when you'll need it, nor why.

My artist friends were actually the ones to introduce me to bluesky! Some of those circles jumped ship pretty early.
