Does anyone find Mastodon to be beneficial in any way? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Due to the restrictions on Twitter, I've been trying out Mastodon recently. So far, I've noticed that there aren't as many high-profile people and it's harder to find people on other servers.

Does anyone feels to delete Mastodon account?

I've been on mastodon for 4 or so years ago, it takes a bit of time to build up people that you like to follow, which is really important on mastodon, since they are your algorithm, I find new people from the boosts of people that I know and trust, find new interesting people, and my feed is so full that there is always something going on, and I don't really have a chance to read it all.

I'm also not really into "high-profile" people, so I guess that helps as well.

It does take a while to get the hang of Mastodon, especially if you come with a Twitter mindset expecting some algorithm to push Content to your timeline. Once you start following the Hashtag and topics that interests you, then the "power" of mastodon comes to the fore
