> where is still possible to discover How?

  You discover things when people you follow boost them or (if you're on an instance that's not too big for it to be usable) you see them on the federated timeline.

    So.. Not so different from twitter then. I see hack projects and experimental things quite often because of the people I follow.

      the experience is quite a bit different from twitter. a good mastodon server has mods , admins, and a community who moderate. the signal to noise ratio is significantly better—maybe a decent comparison would be to compare here (hn) and a default sub on reddit with very little moderation—sure, you _can_ find interesting gems of a dialogue on the little moderated reddit sub, but your odds are significantly higher of finding good conversations here on hn. very very different experience.

        > a good mastodon server has Yes. The problem is finding such a server. And then finding content outside that server.

  In addition to what has already been said, choose the right instance and explore the WAY SMALLER local timeline. It's a bit hard to find the right instance though.

  You can browse the local timeline from the web interface, which is one way. Assuming you've joined an interest where people who have similar interests hang out that's a good discovery mechanism. Then there's cross-instance #hastag searches which can be used to find things.
