I gave up trying to make Mastodon work. Two minutes of scrolling and I always end up closing it with an overwhelming feeling of cringe.
Mind you I could never get in to Twitter either. Maybe it’s just the format? It reinforces ego/personal brand over the value of the actual content.
You only see posts from people you follow, you can just unfollow (or mute/block) whoever you don't like to see on your timeline. If you're scrolling the trending/explore page then maybe you should try switching servers or just stick to the home feed which has toots only from the accounts you follow.
Yes, I got a lot out of reddit, and I miss it sometimes. Lemmy doesn’t seem to have enough of the right people yet to generate enough high quality content to compare to reddit.
Y-combinator’s HN has been sort of filling that void for me though.
Yep, a large portion of the content is exactly that. Mastodon is successfully replicating the Twitter experience.
I'm not a huge fan of the format either.
I'm feeling that way with Lemmy tbh. Maybe I'm just not the Reddit type.
