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.

Try following tags in Mastodon to get what you're looking for. It takes a bit more work than Twitter since there's no algorithm, so you have to curate your feed the way you want it.

That said, I do have a Calckey and kbin account and go between them because I like a little compartmentalization.
