I can’t figure out how to view a threads user profil in lemmy.world and I’m starting to wondering if this is not a problem of compatibility with lemmy. Maybe I should try again from the twittoverse…

    Props to you for getting a few to migrate over. Beyond the confusion that comes with federated media sign-up, Lemmy is definitely facing the chicken-or-egg problem. To get people to joi, it needs more substantial, diverse content. But to have that content, it needs a larger user base.

      Yeah only a couple, and they already hated corporate social media and are fairly socially concious. I talked with them a bit, asked what their favorite style was, one preferred twitter and the other Insta. So, set one up on mastodon and the other on pixelfed, and just sent them direct links to servers to sign up. They can always move, but essentially figured they could just get set up that way and see how it goes.
