Hello fellow Europeans!

I have already swapped like 95% of all of my american applications to European alternstives (all besides YouTube). However, I have a question…: What the heck is happening on Mastodon?

a) there are a few people there (even in comparison to Lemmy it is just microscopic

b) seems like Mastodon has never seen Any moderation: even though I followed politics-related people/organisations, Mastodon was, almost, bombarding me with unmarked and VERY unwanted NSFW content. Why?

So the question is: how to deal with Mastodon? Is it only me? It would be very nice to get back there and make theiving conversations and threads like here on Lemmy.

Vive l’Europe, Vesi

I'm bit surprised that no one talked about this yet. What you are experiencing is "not having an algorithm."

To start out forget about the federated and the local timeline. You have to build your own. What you want to do is find hashtags (!) and users to follow.

There is a list of trending hashtags you can consult

Would you like to post a little summary on how to X-scape? Like a litte post with your experience on server selection and content discovery?

Jea, I know these pages, but I thought a little guide or personal experience post would be nice. Nothing bloated.
