    My problem may be related: how do you find people to follow? I wish I could just follow communities like on Lemmy. I’ve tried following hastags I’m interested in, but it seems like they aren’t always used.

    I’ve instead searched for topics that I’m interested in, followed a bunch of people, then unfollowed the ones that post too much stuff I’m not interested in. But this seems like a pain.

    I also don’t necessarily want to see everything that a single person posts.

      Same

      I was never really on Twitter (had an account that I never used). Tried mastodon recently to fill in some gaps from lemmy but there’s really no good way that I found, to follow interesting/active/popular people

      If anyone knows what I did wrong I’d gladly take the suggestion (tbf I didn’t really bother to search but if you reply to me other people will also read it)

        It’s searching and digging through other people’s follows. I found a bunch of people that I followed on Twitter, but didn’t really enjoy the content, so I stopped using Mastodon. I don’t think I’m cut out for microblogs.
