Welcome #NewUser

If you are coming from Twitter, you understandably may feel like it is a lot quieter here. Mastodon is not "dead," but there is no #algorithm bombarding you with stuff. Here you develop your own user experience by searching out and following people and things that interest you. You can pretty quickly build a much more satisfying experience, but it takes a little effort. Following #hashtags is a good way to get started. Be patient and join in conversations.

@mastodonmigration I was thinking about this the other day, at first it feels odd, it requires a bit more work on my side, but then it starts working and the feed is much better (content, interactions, it's more peaceful too)
@germanio @mastodonmigration 100% same experience for me. I thought “not sure this will last” but after a couple of weeks of following people who got boosted by people I already followed, I have a really exciting feed. And much more on topic.
