I still don't know how to use mastodon, I feel like I'm only here to share my stuff and read replies, and less so any kind of discovery of following and engaging with other people's stuff

it seems like there's only a chronological feed of those you follow (which I usually don't like because it skews to the most active people), and a generic feed for your instance (pretty much useless), but no algorithmic discovery thing?

@acegikmo The chronological feed is one of the main selling points to many, myself included; I used TweetDeck (RIP) for the same reason when I was still regularly using Twitter.

That said, I had a much easier time finding new accounts to follow on Twitter, even without the algorithmic discovery. I'm not sure *why*, though... like, is it quote tweets? A larger or just different user base (feels like there are less games industry folks here)? I miss feeling up to date on what's going on :(
