Mastodon Migration Apr 24, 2023

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.

I can verify that Mastodon is far from quiet even if it initially feels that way. The reason it is quiet, is that there is no algorithm spoon-feeding us with promoted, viral or artificially boosted posts. You pick your own content, and although that takes a little more time, it is so worth it! Search, read, and drink from the fire hose to discover your new people or topics/#tags to follow.
