yea in the beginning it can be hard. Just start following people. And get your timeline filling. Try to check out other users posts/comments and follow them as well if you want to. That will you get started.

That was actually part of my issue, and I experienced the same problem on Bluesky at first. The difference for me was ease of discovery and the influx of people I followed on other platforms. If they had gone to Mastodon instead, I'd have been more inclined to give it more effort. As it stands, I'm content with Bluesky and don't feel I'm missing much on Mastodon. Perhaps I'm mistaken, and that's my loss. Just trying to add some perspective.

We need those cracked TikTok algos which keep children glued to their screens for 16 hours a day

Some children are even behind the screens for more than 26 ½ hours per day.
