P Gurgel-SegrilloIn November 2022 I left Twitter and have been using Mastodon quite regularly ever since... Not sure if I'm going about this in the "correct" way - very little engagement on here. Is it just me? Am I in the wrong instance? Any tips? #IrishTwitter #TwitterExodus #Mastodonie #Neurodivergent #ADHD #immigrant #artist #CrossCultural #designer
Mark Maguire@GurgelSegrillo I use my mobile for Mastodon. Getting the right app for me really helped. So on my current app (Metatext) I can swipe between TL tabs easily: my own, local and federated. If one TL is quiet, one might have something of interest. As you said, time of day makes a difference and hashtags are really vital. I also found following more people helped. Once I was following over 1,000 here, interaction really picked up. Hang in there.
@MarkMaguire thank you, much appreciated 😊

Generally if someone has left 3 months (90 days) between posts, I assume they're gone, or mostly on Twitter, and stop following them. This means that I can say about 500 people means you always have something to discover. I'd like to keep it to 400 or below so I can properly think about them all but that's not really possible.
@Homebrewandhacking @MarkMaguire great suggestions!! thank you! 💕
