Sup everyone, I decided to give Mastodon a try so here I am!
I can’t lie, I love everything STEM, but I’ll learn anything and everything remotely interesting.
I’m new to the fediverse as a whole so I’m still learning all the basics, but I’m a quick learner and any and all advice is really appreciatedI’ve heard there’s pretty much only real people here rather than bots, so I look forward to that!
What should I do first?

Hashtags are mastodon algorithms. Nothing puts what you like in your timeline.Use hashtags, and also follow hashtags. Make a post with potential hashtags. Post it.
Open it. Click on the hashtags, see what you get. If you like, FOLLOW that hashtags, there is a button on the top of the column.
You now follow #climate as if it were a person, #pi #Cosplay #pie
Now Follow folks, check who they follow, follow them, you only see who you follow, who they boost.
Boosts, follows, hashtags.

Mastodon hashtags are also sometimes never guessable, but wonderfully discoverable.
Tired of doom scrolling?
Discover the mastodon hashtag
#bloomscrolling --- a HUGE hashtag of exactly what you'd expect, and a tonic for worst timeline ever scrolling.And not just the pictures, the historic economics of tulips, the viral basis of variegation. And indoor cultivation tips, allotment stories.

@kevinrns @danru it's important to keep in mind that hashtags are slowly becoming overrun by spam. People can't help but to add about 364774 hashtags to every post, of which 364770 are irrelevant to their post.️
Don't try to browse Mastodon/Fediverse/ActivityPub hoping to discuss those topics. You'll have a terrible time.
