Alright! So one fine day I decided to check the Fediverse out and eventually joined mastodon. I've downloaded the Megalodon app on my phone and everything. And now I'm at a loss on what to do with it. In reality, how do you use Mastodon? I've never used Twitter before, so I'm completely new to this form of social media. All I saw were people talking about strange topics only they understood with no engagement whatsoever, and the other posts were straight up anime furry porn left and right. I only found out about Lemmy today. and it's even amazing than I expected. I'd love to hear how you use the Fediverse platforms and any tips you have.

Ironically Ive known about fedi for years and years, but only with lemmy am i now properly active in it. I wouldnt bother with masto, its not anywhere as fun or worth it

It's subjective to each of us, I wasn't a fan of Twitter, but Masto just gels well with me.

Yeah, that's not fair to say it's not worth it. Different strokes for different folks. With no algorithm it takes some effort to curate your feed, but because it doesn't appeal to you doesn't mean it's not worth it.

It's all the same information on the fediverse, and we all get to choose how we want to interact with it.
