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?

    Funny, I’ve mostly seen complaints that Mastodon is “empty”.

    Some tips:

    • Use high-volume hashtags for discovery, not for following.
    • Discovery: niched hashtags (e.g. #photography - >#birdphoto)
    • Discovery: accounts that use the high-use hashtags. Follow or mute
    • mute/filter “spammers” and “spammy” hashtags
    • Ditch FOMO, grow your feed slowly.
    • Look at boosted accounts from accounts you follow. Maybe they’re interesting for you.
