Maybe people aren't used to curate their own feed anymore.

That's the biggest thing. My Mastodon is very curated as is my subscribed feed. Put work in, get quality out.

How do you curate your mastodon feed? How do you find interesting people to follow? I haven't created a mastodon account yet because I honestly not sure how to do this.

Thanks! Some of the tips are certainly not obvious to people not familiar with mastodon like me (follow a lot of people first to discover stuff they boosted then prune it later, follow people that boosts a lot).

404 on first link…

Edit: nevermind, it's just that you included a dot at the end of the link.

Yeah you have to follow hashtags on mastodon and it helps to find good curators with similar tastes to you.

At least with lemmy the situation is simpler, all you have to do is join /c/Risa to fill your feed.
