That was actually part of my issue, and I experienced the same problem on Bluesky at first. The difference for me was ease of discovery and the influx of people I followed on other platforms. If they had gone to Mastodon instead, I'd have been more inclined to give it more effort. As it stands, I'm content with Bluesky and don't feel I'm missing much on Mastodon. Perhaps I'm mistaken, and that's my loss. Just trying to add some perspective.
