    The how-to-search-for-people-to-follow thing caused me trouble with Mastodon. I could handle getting a client and an account, but actually finding people not on the same instance as me was a challenge. Discoverability was pretty broken.

    Bluesky doesn’t seem to have that problem.

    Lemmy I’ve stuck with because it handles that better.

      The latest version of Mastodon does suggest accounts to follow. But you’re absolutely right - Bluesky being fully centralized can do a lot of things easier than it is for the Mastodon network. I have high hopes that @dansup@mastodon.social will help alleviate this a lot though with the Fediverse equivalent for “starter packs”:

      Isn’t it the same on bluesky? As I understand it, there’s effectively only the one instance, and the federation is theoretical.
