I’m not actually using twitter, just never got into it, but now that I’m trying out mastodon, idk if I’m just too old now but I don’t… get it. I just can’t seem to engage with anyone, the UI seems confusing and counterintuitive, I don’t seem to have the context to get into this type of website, can someone tell me how I do this?
I use one Mastodon account for looking at, sharing and chatting about cool craft projects, and another account to meet other small-time gamedevs and cheer each other on. Also ended up meeting someone from the #Eurovision tag irl last year when we ended up randomly seated right next to each other in the arena, which was a bit mad.
I’ve never seen the point of social media either unless you’ve actually got something interesting to say or at the very least something in particular you want to see other people talk about. But what’s interesting kind of depends on the person.
What is it you want to talk about? What is it you have to share? Jump into the hashtag feed for those things and make some friends.
