This post on why lemmy.world temporarily adjusted federation abilities w/ kbin has a bit more insight, especially in the comments:

I’ve used it for a few months. I enjoy the idea of updating my progress after each reading session, so that hypothetically, I can see how fast I read.

Very familiar UI over there. Creating an acct now

Yeah. I forget that we’re still likely in the ‘early adopter’ phase of things for now, which is why a lot of the UX is hit or miss depending on the instance and iteration

IIRC, the fediverse pertains to an interconnnected network of servers that are managed individually. Privacy is an option that led many current users to the fediverse but is by no means a requirement.

If/when threads joins the fediverse, it will have addictive algorithms and collect large amounts of user data.

My guess is that it will be like the banking system in the US where many ppl go to the exploitative larger banks out of seeming convenience w/o realizing that the alternative, less popular Credit Unions actually have the consumers’ best interest @ heart

I use it. It’s great for seeing your progress of reading a book over time. I update the # of pages I read for every book and the dates show me my pace.

I decided to create a few threads after a few months hiatus and was surprised by the levels of engagement. I think the audience is hungry for content and that more people need to take the plunge and start threads.

With that said, going to /all instead of /subscribed is largely frustrating since the most frequent posts are just memes and inside jokes

TBH, the fish tld is kinda lame, and I say this as a firefish user. But yeah, here are my $0.02:
