Does anyone find Mastodon to be beneficial in any way? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Due to the restrictions on Twitter, I've been trying out Mastodon recently. So far, I've noticed that there aren't as many high-profile people and it's harder to find people on other servers.

Does anyone feels to delete Mastodon account?

I found Calckey better suited for my use patterns. Same people, same discussions, but the features and UI made things feel more right.

Doesn't have the hashtag follow feature, but it does have saved searches (called "antennae") which act similarly, just without dumping everything into the main timeline.

8 never had any trouble finding people to follow on either Calckey or Mastodon, though. I just started watching Local and following anyone that said something interested (and then unfollowing them if that interesting post turned out to be a fluke).
