How do I engage? (self.mastodon)

I never used Twitter. Reddit was the only social media I engaged/posted on for years, moved to Lemmy a couple months ago. I made an account on Mastodon, downloaded moshidon, followed a bunch of hashtags, now I don't know what to do. Do I just start posting "Facebook status" type posts? Is Mastodon basically like individual Lemmy comment threads with hashtags being the main post?

Now I know how my parents feel when I try to explain anything outside of Facebook to them.

I enjoy reading screenshots of mastodon posts posted to lemmy that are carefully curated to show the relevant wit, but like you general browsing of mastodon (or twitter) isn't for me.
