After looking around for a bit, I feel discoverability is an issue here, or maybe it's my lack of understanding. I could see someone constantly transferring just to discover new people. I realize you can browse outside of your account, but it's a bit awkward.
@0rigami the best advice I’ve seen is to start by following hashtags, once you’ve got a stream of content coming in it’s easier to find individual people to follow. Unfortunately the official Mastodon app doesn’t seem to let you add new hashtags to follow, at least not that I can see in the iOS app.
@defulmere Yeah, it looks like you can add them from a browser, but once added, it doesn't seem to affect the app at all. Gonna mess around me in browser. Lots of additional settings are only accessible from web it seems.
@0rigami the tags you follow will show up in your timeline in the app eventually, there’s definitely a bit of latency there.
