Also, a Bluesky and Mastodon user, although I use Mastodon significantly more. Both have upsides and downsides. Mastodon's onboarding experience has improved, but it's still worse than Bluesky's. Also, the fact that Mastodon doesn't federate likes is honestly very strange. It makes the platform look dead at first glance, which really hurts first impressions.

I still prefer Mastodon, federation is great and I've had an easier time finding people to follow there. Bluesky's feature of following community made feeds is really cool though.

Oh mastodon doesn't publicly display likes?

You only see the likes from your instance, they don't federate to others. This is a purposeful decision made my the Mastodon team, but I don't agree with their reasoning behind it.
