You posted this very relevant question (https://mastodon.social/@RicoElectrico/112814402646545749 https://mastodon.social/@RicoElectrico/112814402646545749) but you included a hashtag that I filter out of my stream, because it's fucking annoying. I think Mastodon is much more specific in terms of what you should talk about and what you can read. Like, look at this screenshot: https://infosec.exchange/@tychotithonus/112813902808042779 https://infosec.exchange/@tychotithonus/112813902808042779 That's how, I feel, serious/interesting people are using Mastodon. Less noise, more quality. As such, it's just like "SEO" - if you want to appear relevant, try being relevant. Use hashtags and talk about things you are interested/knowledgeable in, imo. Also picking a good instance is important - it allows to have a local timeline that's relevant to you.
