    Not being a developer myself, the wording may not be the best sorry. The take home message was that Mastodon seems more prone to external development based on its protocol and the fact that more than 20 apps already exist (all platforms included).

    Outside of using several apps to use Mastodon, I personaly rely on its API only to add Mastodon posts as comments on my static blog.

    As far as I know Bluesky protocol is open-source but not its main app. Also, there are several apps available to use Mastodon. Additionally, note that Bluesky uses the AT Protocol (developed by Bluesky) while Mastodon uses ActivityPub (W3C standard) which is more friendly for third-party devs.

    As far as federation is concerned it’s still mostly centralized with Bluesky while Mastodon is fully federated.

    Something I personaly like as well with Mastodon is that the feeds don’t use algorithms.

    This doesn’t sound like the normal behavior. From the app description: “This indexing process may take some time, but it’s a one-time event. Once this initial indexing process is complete, the app will store the index on your device, and any new photos you add to your photo library will be automatically added to the index on the subsequent app launches.”

    If your experience is different you may let the dev know so they can fix it.
