I find the "explore" page super useful for exploration! Spend a few minutes twice a day or so and the content quality is quite high, great place to branch out into boosts from. On my instance, I also do my best to curate the global feed to be somewhat useful (though things to creep in at the edges, I need to do some culling now for some Misskey bridges that are pretty loud in that feed).

@r1veRRR I was on social media both before and after algorithmic curation, and I find it no more interesting now (less if anything). YMMV.
feedback on the link bot, may be good to have it only reply once per thread/user combo, because the default Mastodon UX auto-inserts the reference into any future replies (but will start consciously deleting it!)
@crypto (ok what I didn't realize is that this is also how you post a thread on Lemmy, so condolences to all the Lemmy viewers who already knew this <3 on the upside if you want a crypto-focused Mastodon UI, always open signups on this instance!)
@crypto you can also comment directly from Mastodon. different platforms become differnet skins on the same data, ain't federation grand?
added in March of last year, and not sure about third party apps since I use the official interface. I find it very useful though, between that, hashtags, public lists of people to follow, and boosts, I set my feed up in about 6 hours and it's been on minimal-maintenance-mode since and serving me fine. depends on how much the niche communities you like adopt the Fediverse too, YMMV!
