Is anyone using Mastodon as their primary social media and is it working for you?

Yes.

But then all I want is to chat with some people I get along with

[lydiaschoch@mastodon.social]

@LianaBrooks Yes and yes.

[jamesbritt@mastodon.social]

Yes and yes.

[david@setouchi.social]

@LianaBrooks Yes and yes.

[oohokaykay@beige.party]

@LianaBrooks
Yes and yes.
Our Mastodon experience is what we make it. With the setting available to us we can tailor our experience to what we want it to be. That's what makes it the perfect SM for me.

@LianaBrooks
Yes

[staringatclouds@mstdn.social]

@LianaBrooks It's my only social media & yes

[hi@romanzolotarev.com]

working great! it's awesome to share interests with people on the fediverse. it really feels like home.

left twitter ages ago and never found anything else that stuck. just restarted my instance recently, and i'm really enjoying it ️

[chigaze@mstdn.ca]

@LianaBrooks It's been my primary social media for three years now and it's been very refreshing.

[joelvanderwerf@mastodon.social]

@LianaBrooks Yes and yes. I have two fediverse accounts and no other social media. However, I do follow some bluesky people using the fediverse bridge.

[stereo4x4@techhub.social]

@LianaBrooks yes & yes

[corvidcrone@kolektiva.social]

@LianaBrooks yes and yes

[unruly@mastodon.social]

@LianaBrooks

Yes, Yes!

[jmmaok@mastodon.online]

@LianaBrooks

Yes and sorta. Social media is playing a smaller role for me now than in the past.

[falcennial@mastodon.social]

@LianaBrooks yes and of course. there is zero corporate toxicity, it is pure human activity. so it is impossible not to enjoy.

[alterelefant@mastodontech.de]

@LianaBrooks Yes, it is and it is working for me.

You do however have to curate the accounts you follow and choose hashtags to follow. There is no algorithm on the #fediverse, you are the algorithm.

Reply to posts and boost posts by others that you find interesting and find relevant for other people who follow you. That is how you can make it work for yourself and others.

[heartofcoyote@neuromatch.social]

@jmax @LianaBrooks I second on both counts.

[ciredutempsesme@mamot.fr]

@LianaBrooks yes
