It is. To the other responders, you have to find people to follow, it is not served up on a plate. So if you feel like it is dead, or only football, spend a while looking for things and people that interest you. To follow people from other instances, just search or follow the link through the instance you are already logged into, and all you have to do is click a follow button. I would recommend looking for an instance that has some sort of similarity with what you are interested in. For example, I joined the Irish instance mastodon.ie so I know there will always be a stream of slightly humourous shite talk in the local time line. But there is also a good infosec instance, and a good quantum research instance. But look, I never liked twitter in the first place, so maybe, yes for twitter people, Mastodon just won't scratch that itch!
