Twitter has algorithms to get you engaged. Mastodon does not. So in order to enjoy Mastodon you have to take some time to reach out and find content and follow folks that you enjoy. Don't expect Mastodon to send you random popular posts to keep you engaged, you have to curate your own feed. But this is good! It gives you control.

Here's a little ditty about Jack and Diane
And their voice mail inbox that's filled with spam

But it's their last chance to lower the rates on their credit card

Oh yeah life goes on
But every phone call sure sounds like a con

listen, i'm glad everyone is here/back but platform metacommentary alone won't be enough to make this stick. you need to start posting inane nonsense

what did you eat today. did you see any cool bugs
