On Twitter I mostly followed people I knew in real life, comedians, some novelty and parody accounts. I joined Mastadon and I really don’t see anything interesting to me looking at trending posts and what not. It seems very grown up and dry. I miss a little of the “Wild West” aspect of twitter from early 2010’s with offensive humor and cutting satire and just silliness.
Any suggestions?
Search for hashtags then add them to your follows, that will show you any post with those hashtags, from there you can follow people that seem to interest you.
Learning to follow hashtags was a game changing moment for me on Mastodon. Went from not really using it at all to frequent user.
Same. It’s a shame not enough weight is given in the interface or most intros. It’s really the best way to discover great content.
