I did not use twitter, but i decided to check out mastodon. One thing is a mystery to me; i can't find an overview of the accounts i started following, when i use mastodon on the web. Here on Lemmy, for instance in the Photon app i use on the web, my subscriptions are neatly positioned in the sidebar; one click and i'm there.

I'm trying to make lists, to create at least some order. And that turned out a chore as well; instead of typing a few letters and my followed accounts popping up, i need to look up the entire name and type it in.

I hope this newbie post is ok here. I am reading some beginner mastodon instructions, but those are usually loooong explanations.

Also, are there some fun accounts i should follow? Not NSFW please, but things like nature and animals, science, open source would be nice to add.

Glad that was helpful!

Not sure about Tusky, I remember trying our a number of mastodon apps initially but the original was seemed best. Until hopefully if 3rd parties mature then why not. But the original one is very simply and basic to use, recommend you check it out.

Thank you, i might try it out, but usually i prefer to start out with open source apps and Tusky seemed to get much praise. Haven't tried others just yet, but probably will at some point.
