For me, discoverability seems harder on Mastodon. I use it quite a bit, but so far it’s hard to just stumble across other users who I don’t know that are posting interesting things. But I assume in time that will change.
The difference between Mastodon today and when I joined 10+ months ago is there are a lot more people posting on Mastodon now.
I’m not a twitter user, and also I thought that you’d find groups with whom you’d share, but instead I only found accounts telling me news I already knew. Roughly.
For me I’ll check out my account from time to time for the FOSS stuff, but I could probably just hang out somewhere else (IDK where though :-)
For me, Mastodon was not very user friendly. I still jump on it every now and then but I’m still not comfortable with it yet.
For me, Mastodon was actually quite nice once I started following hashtags.
For me, Mastodon is a great metal band.
Wait, you can do that? Is it possible on the app?
Tapping on a hashtag generally gives an option to follow it. It works just like following a person.
Here’s the option on Megalodon (which I’d guess is similar to the official app)
And here it is in Trunks
Ooh, lovely. I didn’t find rhis on official app but switches to Megalodon and it works like a charm. Thank you!
I need to try that. Thanks for the tip!

Out of curiosity, what were some things you found hard to get used to about Mastodon?
Finding interesting things to follow.
