I have the same experience so far but also acknowledge that it will take a very long time for communities to form around individual Mastodon instances. Of course, that might never happen at scale (a large number of instances with functioning communities). Twitter (and Reddit, IG, etc) certainly benefited from mixing different people together and not being limited to a specific niche. On the other hand, niche forums and discussion boards in the 90s and early 2000s had a wide variety of amazing communities. So maybe it's just a question of time.
