Don't expect to be entertained. Engage with people and they will engage with you.

Follow hashtags. That made the change for me. If you see interesting posts, follow the user and following hashtags makes you find the interesting users.

Because in the mainstream platforms the people who share your interested are payed to make you feel like that. While in place like Mastodon, or here, you can feel the harsh reality.

Based on your replies maybe try the Roblox forum? More people your age there

Imagine if someone asked you for advice and all of their replies were "ok" except for the one time they blurted out "[unrelated thing] is bad btw" for no reason

I don't use Mastodon much at all, but have mostly the same feeling. Any alternative internet platform has the geeks first.

Lemmy being primarily a place to share links is better at it, as people share just about anything. But a platform mostly made for blogging - well that will be programming first, politics next, the rest maybe eventually.
