I feel like everyone suggests following hashtags, but depending on the hashtag, I find the content that’s being posted quite overwhelming when it comes to the amount of toots, and that it’s hard to get an overview. Anyone that relates?

    Because some accounts like to spam on certain hashtags, I had the best results with muting an account the second I thought it was annoying. It’s nothing personal, I just don’t want to see their posts on my timeline anymore, which is what mute accomplishes

      This is key to a calm timeline on Mastodon (as it was on Twitter): Mute accounts liberally — and mute hashtags as well. There will be a maddening amount of noise, and since there is no algorithm on Mastodon, it’s up to yourself to focus in the important stuff.
