I signed up, though I generally don’t like following individuals and much prefer groups or communities like Lemmy. Gotta support independent social media.
I found following hastags I'm interested in to work better for me.
This also works really well for Mastodon. Gets your feed going super easily.
this is probably the intended method to use mastodon, if you're trying to follow individual accounts you're just gonna suffer.
I also found actually taking time to find an instance that you vibe with (in my case, jorts.horse) really helps to keep stuff interesting in your Local timeline. As a bonus, it also furthers decentralization :)
Yeah I was on Fosstodon first. Moved to Sakurajima (Sharkey) and now I'm on Sakurajima (Mastodon) .
You're right, the instance makes a big difference. Very important to find one you enjoy.
