Twitter has algorithms to get you engaged. Mastodon does not. So in order to enjoy Mastodon you have to take some time to reach out and find content and follow folks that you enjoy. Don't expect Mastodon to send you random popular posts to keep you engaged, you have to curate your own feed. But this is good! It gives you control.

@vv This is mostly an improvement on Twitter if you ask me, a lot of it's suggested posts drive me mad! Like 1 in 50 I actually fine interesting, the rest I find usually mildly annoying, esp when my feed is FULL of them.
