I miss being on the same platform as all these creators. I hope they come to the fediverse someday cause I ain't leaving.
I'm begging the creators I know to at least do double duty on the Fediverse (Mastodon, Misskey, etc.) besides Twitter even if they can't leave it now.
They will, we just need to keep makin cool stuff and calling it out. Word of mouth goes a looooong way
Several artists are on mastodon already:
If they're smaller creators or fan friendly, maybe someone could reach out to them to help get them set up? More audience for them is good, and if they think they'll get value out of being here they'll create accounts.
And all the comments are about how hard fedi and mastadon are :(
Skill issue.
I haven't tried mastadon but I can't imagine it's harder than lemmy. Plus they already would have more established apps.
The problem I have with Mastodon is you need people to get people. And if the people I personally know and follow just aren't there, I don't… have fun there. Lemmy is much easier because it doesn't depend on personal people, but just communities. So even if there are few people, that's still easy to get more people there because it doesn't rely on many specific ones.
Totally. Microblogging (twitter alternatives) have a much harder task because they depend on the right users. Especially famous/influential people. Post aggregators (Reddit alternatives) don’t have that constraint.
Agreed. It took me a few tries to get into Mastodon. What helped me was discovering that I could follow hashtags of topics that interest me. That opened the door to interesting people to follow.
Based and “just read a little bit”-pilled.
Mfs can't take 5 minutes god damn.
I swear, many people are completely digitally illiterate despite being on the internet every day. Even choosing a server is already too hard for them.
It's actually a major, and documented, problem. Despite everyone born after 1995 being considered a digital native, more and more people don't have any technical aptitude and are wholly reliant on digital support
yeah it's a shame that most people can't read and learn new things
If they admit its not that complicated then they have no excuse for not switching and have to accept that they’re perfectly happy suckling on the poisoned teat of these platforms and don’t actually want to leave
That's all I see people complain about.
If we can do that here, surely it can't be that hard to just pick a server on there and follow people, right?
I don't expect everyone to be a coding wizard, I'm certainly not, but how are so many people still so tech illiterate in this modern day that what essentially boils down to picking an email host is considered difficult??
I got excited for a minute. I thought PizzaCake joined Lemmy.
I think we'd be reading a different comic if that were true.
I don't care if she joins or not, but I really want the people that edit her comics to be funny to come to Lemmy.
Where are the Ben Garrison cum edits?? That's what I need here.
no, its not better. i cant believe how many idiots are falling for this
Less featureful, terrible violation of privacy, no way to easily delete just threads, gives a known bad actor a strong foothold...
What could go wrong?
and then if you suggest they try mastodon they won't even consider it
Why not neither of them?
I'm on mastodon I'm good thanks.

Now she’s buying upvotes on Lemmy too!!
/s
Kinda weird to post this on Lemmy
I'm not the artist, and I thought pretty much anything goes in this community?
Ok but can we not depict a Jewish person as a lizard person. Lizard people are an antisemitic conspiracy
The "reptilian conspiracy theory" has nothing to do with Jews. Please don't create antisemitism and stuff where there is none
I never made that connection. I thought it was just because he's an emotionless alien?
While I'm with you on that, I am definitely getting more of a "sneaky snake" vibe from this comic, personally.
Fair, maybe I’m just being a bit over cautious here as I’ve noticed a huge rise in antisemitism over the past year or so and would rather err on the side of not risking coming off as such
I definitely don't blame you for that. Dogwhistles come with that little bit of plausible deniability so it's impossible to draw a hard line on this type of thing.
Oh fuck. I always thought Zuck=Lizard person stemmed from the complete lack of emotion in his face. And all the other billionaire stereotype shit. Didnt make the antisemitism connection until now.
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
