I tried following hashtags but then my feed was overflowed with a few of them, i couldn’t see the posts from the accounts i followed so I dropped them :/

For me it’s not as bad as you described, people reply if i ask something or comment but i don’t know how to find the content and the people that I’d like to follow. I do follow some accounts that I like but still my feed feels dead :( I think Lemmy is easier because it’s a “subject/interest first” place whereas mastodon (or twitter) is “people first” place. I was never a twitter fan either so I actually don’t quite know what to expect from it neither.

I still keep visiting Mastodon after I get angry to Instagram though, which happens quite often (I know mastodon is a twitter alt and we have pixelfed for ig)

What about hbo max?
