Same here. I love how fluid Mastodon's app is, especially compared to Lemmy's. But I scroll for a bit and there's nothing that interests me on my timeline.
No one is going to feed you content. It's a different way to think and consume media. You just gotta start following people or hashtags and see which content and people are posting things that interest you. Go the the local feed of the instance of the world feed and watch things unfold.
But you gotta bootstrap it. There's a lot of interesting people and content in it.
There's a few sites that help with discovery by listing relevant people and topics.
There's hashtags important to follow at the start, for example #fediverseMigration where lots of posts trying to help new people and guiding them appear.
I know it may hurt a little at the beginning, but it's so worth it and rewarding. So, don't quit and give it a little bit to grow on you. It's a new experience so not everything will feel similar to what one knows previously.
And, the amazing thing that on mastodon one being able to directly interact and comment on lemmy posts is just mind-blowing.
So. Good luck. And Thanks for all the fish.
Seriously, follow hashtags! If friends start to join boost their early posts so other people can find them too. You take the place of the algorithm on Mastodon, so you're ultimately responsible for curating your experience.
Though I will say, don't use the offical app. It lacks a federated timeline still, which is weird. If you like that UI though, Moshidon is a fork that adds some customization and the federated timeline, which is a neat way to see what's goin on.
Hit "Explore" and follow hash tags to grow your list of accounts to follow. It really helps a lot! Mine used to be like 2 minutes of scrolling and I'm done for the day. Now it's....um....I should get back to work.
I mean, isn't that a good thing? You shouldn't be doom scrolling anyways
Also, that's a temporary measure. As more people migrate, there will be more content.
there is still some work needed to be done on sync for lemmy meanwhile, you can try connect or liftoff for Lemmy
Same. It feels like Mastodon isn't anywhere close to approaching critical mass of users
Same. It feels like Mastodon isn't anywhere close to approaching critical mass of users necessary for it to take off.
