    Yeah this is a good point.

    It took me months to actually start using Lemmy and Mastodon. I would consider myself a tech savvy person and it still took a while getting used too. I think there need to be better tutorials linked on the sign-up pages that help people understand the basic concepts. That would help drive true user acquisition.

      I just started with mastodon. Lemmy I’m pretty understanding at but do you have any people/ hashtags you reccomend following on mastodon to not make the whole place feel so small and repetitive? I’m interested in pretty much anything.

        I use the advanced UI and have various columns pinned with hashtags I’m interested in. Just jumping in and joining convos, commenting on interesting projects I see etc has worked fine for me, got two accounts on two fairly small servers and they both have very active feeds and lots of engagement.

        Pick something you want to talk to people about, and just go for it tbh.
