I miss it so bad. I try to make Mastadon work but it just doesn't without the people I want to hear from. Just having bots echo what those accounts say along with the lack of interaction makes it less fun.
I've just learned to follow smaller accounts with similar interest. As a celebrity follow machine, it's awful because nobody is really on there officially except for a handful of people.
Hashtags are much more important on Masto too cause without an algorithm, its one of the only ways your posts are visible to others. I find with the right combo of tags though, I can get a decent amount of interaction.
There was a good solid week where most of my attention was focused on Mastodon. I guess it all depends on what you were originally using twitter for. I guess it clicked for me cause I barely used twitter to begin with.
And this is why the First Twitter Exodus was so miserable. Back then following tags or searching tags was a part of the interface but didn't work.
