Can anyone help explain how to find content worth following on Mastodon? I made an account today and despite going through the #explore category I’m finding it difficult to find content or people I want to follow. The few things I’ve found end up just being Lemmy communities which kind of defeats the purpose of having a mastadon account at all… maybe it’s because I never had a Twitter, but the Lemmy/reddit/forum layout makes much more sense to me

Not a techie. Paramedic / firefighter - I’m not the most tech literate, but I manage to get by lol

Make an account on lemmynsfw.com

It’s just as good as reddits porn

“It is no measure of good health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society”

I wonder if this particular problem might be fixed just with the way the instances force communities to be broken up, even as user base grows it will in theory happen across many different instances which means the local instances will continue to have a more local community feel

I followed a guide that lead me to lemmy.world, but honestly I don’t know how people are choosing which instance to join

I’m also still confused with the layout and how to navigate… Even figuring out how to view different instances or share posts from instances seems confusing so far. I’m gonna continue on with brute force though. Reddit killing RIF was too much for me. I’d been using that app for over 12 years, and honestly maybe a fresh start like Lemmy will be a good thing
