Maybe this is obvious, but your Mastodon experience is directly related to how many people you follow. If you are new here, follow everyone who appeals to you in the slightest. You can always unfollow later. Once you follow a good number your Home Feed will really get moving.
@BustedFlush May I also recommend an #Introduction post that others can boost? Who you are, what you do, hashtags of interest. 😊
@BustedFlush But if you follow to many it cloggs your home feed fairly easy. And some "news" accounts are really spamming, even had to unfollow Reuters again. I created lists already for Ukraine related stuff, shame we can't share lists.

Miss Agnes, is this you???
