What does Bluesky have that Mastodon doesn't? (lemmy.ca)

Is it just the momentum and word of mouth, or are there improved features as well?

When federation is live on the main node on bluesky there will still be some similar effects when you follow links from other servers, in that you'll need to bring that over to your own server somehow to follow and interact.

With Mastodon when you follow another's link you're asked to specify your own instance, in Bluesky you'll enter your domain based username and it will find your instance.

Also with the CDN like BGS caching servers being shared across instances you'll be able to find more content from your home instance so it will feel more like Twitter. You can directly search for users on other servers.
