Do you follow people you know or strangers?

You can do both for sure. I didn't follow anyone I knew personally.

A lot of independent musicians, artists who do art by commission, and self-publishing authors use it to connect with their fanbase in lieu of a personal website.

I only followed bars to find happy hour specials

I used it similarly. I only followed a podcast that I listened to and people that posted their art and/or cute photographs of their pets. Mastodon has been pretty great about replacing it in regards to art and pet photos.

I suppose it depends on what you used Twitter for whether or not Mastodon is a useful alternative. As an example, if you followed a particular celebrity and they don't post on Mastodon then that might be disappointing. All you can do is give it a try for yourself.

Should I leave Twitter?

Yes. You should leave Twitter even if you're not going to go elsewhere.

For Mastodon toot.io instance?

If that instance appeals to you, sure.

My "main" account is on .ml but I went ahead and made an account on another instance just in case. It couldn't hurt imo.
