The problem with Mastodon is that I couldn't make any sense of it. π
It's really not all that different from Twitter in terms of the interface.
Not in terms of the interface, but I couldn't get the timeline to not be a complete mess of all sorts of topics.
You have to follow hashtags. That sorts things out. Or at least it does for me.
I'll have to make a new account and give it a go.
Yeah the main difference is that there is no echo-chamber algorithm serving content in the way we're used to with more corporate social media. It's up to you to discover what you like and build your feed
What's the problem? Like signing up or finding people?
I've found the trick or to follow hashtags rather than people. But it's a balancing act, sometimes you'll find your stream gets flooded with one topic so you need to refine what you are following.
Did you try? Itβs really not that complicated. Maybe youβre just dense.
