Is it just the momentum and word of mouth, or are there improved features as well?

    You can just click Follow and start following someone. You don’t have to perform a copy-paste dance to bring the username back to your instance and do the following there.

      Wasn’t that fixed - or at least ameliorated - in the newest upgrade of Masto?

      In the Mastodon app you can just click “follow”. Since BS doesn’t have a web interface at all, it’s probably safe to assume that this is not a major reason a BS user would avoid Mastodon. Since they’re not on desktop anyway.

      EDIT: Disregard me BS apparently has a website now so maybe the copy-paste reason is why?

      The process got easier in mastodon 4.2.0, now you just have to type in your instance and it takes you to it directly.
