I'm thinking about Mastodon in a wide view, in the world of social media, this feels a little outsider, while at the same time it also feels like it might be the future. So, let's talk about it!
What do you get out of Mastodon?
Why are you here?
How has it compared with your other social media experiences?
What do you see for the future of Mastodon?
What do you want to see?
And basically anything else about it you want to say about Mastodon.
LET'S TALK!

@RickiTarr I'm here because I want a better alternative to centralised social media, but so far the content discovery on this platform has been tremendously difficult

@Gust3r I'm gonna beat the dead horse here, but yeah I had to follow about 300 before things got good, and to beat my own drum, make your account as followable as possible, add an avi, can be anything doesn't have to be a picture of you, add a bio, pin a post, people are afraid of following bots, personalizing is key

@RickiTarr @Gust3r Yeah, I quickly follow whoever Favorites a post, after a quick scan of their header. Occasionally I Unfollow, for various reasons.

Without the algorithm, you get who you want—not whoever boosts "engagement".
