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
Best you can do to offset that is follow hashtags and groups for topics you're interested in, since there is no algorithm these are how you get your posts in other people's feeds and how they should land in yours.
Discovery is harder because there's no algorithm, but I've weirdly come to enjoy it over the "we think you might like this" being shoved in my face to retain my attention just for a few extra seconds.
