Wtf is nooki
A Reddit alternative based on ATproto. Basically, it's to Lemmy, what Bsky or Blacksky is to Mastodon.
No, but I'd think Nooki could've funneled in some of Bsky's userbase since it runs on the same protocol as Bsky, and gotten livelier than it appears to be, like Lemmy is actually active but its competitor over on ATproto, Nooki, is nothing but crickets.
but lemmy didn't get popular because it talked to mastodon. it got popular because it talked to itself. how many nooki instances are/were there?
There's also the nerdy versus a normy factor to look at. Reddit was always a significantly nerdier place. The API-pocalypse disproportionately concerned or impacted the nerdier crowd more to boot. Lots of Normies never tried to leave Reddit, and many went back to it quickly. There wasn't a lot of normy content on the Fediverse for them. And they could mostly run their normy communities on reddit satisfactorily.
Twitter OTOH was always a much more Normy space. And when an open fascist came in and started shitting all over community and moderation, it left a lot of them no quarter. The more educated ones came to the fediverse. But the Dorsey sheep largely went to blue sky, to likely repeat this all again in the future. Either way, they were never the crowd that was attracted to Reddit in general. So it makes a lot of sense that a reddit like site built on the blue sky stack was a non starter.
We should bridge them.
Bridgyfed is a thing. I suppose it could work. Though it would likely need some work as it's more geared to bluesky.
