TIP OF THE DAY
Mastodon is not broken.
It's different, and much better. Mastodon by design promotes engagement not asserting influence. It's a dinner party, not a food fight. Most of what you might at first think is deficient is intentional. Before you rush to conclusions, try it for a while. Take part in this new community. Make new friends. Be kind. This is what social media should be. You will be amazed.
@RozAvanthay In order to get more information on politics, try to do some searches like #politics or #USpolitics, and follow posters you find interesting. You can also follow these hashtags >>>

Just hang out and enjoy. Follow liberally. Pretty soon you will have more politics than you can digest...
Attached: 1 image Reboosting for #NewUsers TIP OF THE DAY Use and Follow #hashtags !!! Mastodon has #NoAds, #500Chars, #5Pins, and #PostEdits, but the best thing is #NoAlgorithm. On the #BirdSite you are force-fed by an #algorithm. A mishmash of your history, likes, follows and whatever Twitter wants to cram into you. With #NoAlgorithm, you are in control. Your feeds are just who and what you follow, and you can follow #hashtags . Include #hashtags liberally so others can follow your ideas. #twittermigration
@mastodonmigration @RozAvanthay Also: When you find people you want to follow in #politics or wherever, take a note of what instances those people are on. It's a good way to find an instance that's a better fit for you.
(You probably already know this next bit.) Your Local timeline just shows posts from the same instance as you, so it really is worth finding an instance where you feel more at home.
But there's no rush! You'll find the right home for you eventually. š
