Does anyone find Mastodon to be beneficial in any way? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Due to the restrictions on Twitter, I've been trying out Mastodon recently. So far, I've noticed that there aren't as many high-profile people and it's harder to find people on other servers.

Does anyone feels to delete Mastodon account?

My stance is on mastodon: don't try to follow people, follow tags instead. You will find interesting opinions, posts and people that way.

This is the ananswer. Took me a bit to figure out, but tags is where it is at, since mastodon does not have any Alogs trying to hook you or serve you content

How do you follow a tag? I've got the Mastodon App and Tusky and can't work it out on either.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In Tusky, when you tap on Search you can select Hashtags. Then enter the Name of a hashtag you want to find. Click on it from the resultlist. Then you see a list of toots with that hashtag. In the top right corner on the TopBar you have a Follow button (next to the notification button). Press that one, and you should follow that tag from now on.
