I’ve been browsing Mastodon daily now. I’m finding the experience reminiscent of my first few months on Twitter, where it is was a challenging to cultivate a list of people to follow in the very beginning. I think federation adds an additional hurdle, but it is still coming together slowly but surely.
Finally created mastodon account following the advice. I was never on twitter so I didn’t know how to start. So Ive started by using hashtags as communities/subreddits for the start and then I’ll follow people I find this way.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
It’s really good and comprehensive. The tragedy is that so many people simply won’t read it.
Useful.

The secret is quality over quantity. There’s no capitalist crafted algorithm that punishes people for not being an attention seeking “influencer”.
