Twitter to Mastodon is easy. I’ve never understood short form text social media. I never made a Twitter account but I have a Mastodon account so I guess that says something. But I still don’t use it.
Instagram to Pixelfed has been a hard sell. I enjoy photography but have hated Meta. I hated Instagram and ended up making one just because it’s the only real active community, even though it’s compression, resolution, and aspect ratio garbage are all awful for actual photography. I’ve tried 500px, Flickr, Vero, and a bunch of others and they all have problems. Pixelfeds UI and community just both aren’t great so I can’t buy in yet. And I’m not even using Instagram much these days anyway.
Does YouTube count? I don’t comment/post much, but I have very little faith in PeerTube or any of the others ever gaining reasonable traction. So many other attempts at this have failed and the content is too important.
Reddit to Lemmy has been a mix. I completely axed Reddit apps and don’t check it daily and instead use Lemmy. Been having a hard time filling the content void. And when I want hive mind type feedback on obscure things / recommendations / tech problems, you just can’t beat reddits 15 year history of content and opinions. But I am actively posting/browsing on Lemmy instead.
For me, it depends on the website.
