Yeah the twitter style of social media has always confused me, I feel like there's much more community and fun here than mastodon but I use both

I have tried to go back to Mastodon, but I have not found an instance that makes me care enough.
I've noticed that after migrating mastodon instances and losing my hashtag follows that my home feed has improved significantly. Unfortunately this is extremely counter intuitive. I would love to be able to see a particular hashtag exclusively from the people I follow. This brings up another problem with mastodon and that is that development has been incredibly slow. I suspect threadiverse will not have this issue due to the popularity of tree-ed forums among programmers.
It is a wholly different experience. I do wish there was a kind of bridge where I could still follow particular individuals, since I did like them, but on the whole not be blasted with inane posts. Still, I am thinking that I might want that some times, just an overflow of humanity, see what the water is like across the globe.
Like, I did make friends, it is wonderful. One thing I never do is show my face for anything, but the willingness to do so does create an extraordinary intimacy that has probably lead to great conversations, changes in hormones, and bursts of feel-good neurotransmitters.
I have no idea what you mean by slow development, or more specifically what you are waiting on to get implemented. Lemmy is still fairly new so a lot is changing, but I doubt it will keep going at that pace once it matures.
Agreed. I was never a twitter user so mastadon never made sense to me.
This just worked for me instantly.
That said I was just thinking about making a community for new users with like - tips and tricks. Or does that exist?
edit: nevermind found lemmytips - [email protected] - , seems to have all the info I was thinking about adding.
Nice. It is comforting that the people running the platform are conscientious and have made a guide so the transition is as smooth as possible.
The problem with mastodon is the same problem as twitter. Its just not a good social experience. I have said this before. Twitter/Mastodon are for individuals with a high follower count to get their message out. Its not for the other 99.99% that want to engage each other and discuss topics o interest.
