@matthijs @ahatchettjob if you’re interested in that community style of social media, there are a couple of fediverse options, piefed and lemmy. Both have a ux that is heavily inspired by Reddit, and you can interact with them from mastodon by @‘ing the community’s account (like @ + community + @ + instance).

@holger @pj I’d recommend finding some hashtags for things you’re interested in and following those. For instance, I follow hashtags for sports I like, as well as my city and neighborhood. From there, it’s easier to expand out to following individual accounts you see posting regularly. And it’s likely worth checking out @FediTips

@deelion I’ve been here for quite some time, and I can assure you that feeling never quite goes away. It’s a fun place with a lot of little pockets of subcultures I’d never had much exposure to before. Make sure to follow a bunch of hashtags and boost everything you find even remotely interesting — there’s not an algorithm to help people discover content, so those two steps are super helpful.
