I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again my unpopular opinion is that Mastadon will never become mainstream outside of tech literate communities - it’s just too complicated to wrap your head around if you’re used to centralised social media sites. There is a certain learning curve and unfortunately I can’t see it taking off for the average non-technical person who just likes to doom scroll in front of the TV
- timbit42 3y agoThe secret to Mastodon is to use hashtags. Put them in your posts and comments and follow hashtags. This will immediately immerse you in conversations you are interested in and will elicit lots of comments on your posts. If you don't use hashtags, the only way people will see your posts is if they are following you, but when you first sign up, no one is following you. I follow dozens of hashtags and only three people because there are few people that I want to see everything they post. Following people increases the noise in your feed.
