Finding stuff on Mastodon is more about hashtags. Eventually, by subscribing to #stuff you’re interested in, you will discover accounts worth following. The Tusky app allows you to subscribe to hashtags like to an account. I don’t follow people anymore, I follow topics!
Realizing this blew my mind. Definitely more interesting than following people.
Not useful for finding people to follow but you now can also populate your feed with Lemmy communities. Also check out a.gup.pu !
The only thing that sucks is it seems this makes it more likely to get spam since the spammers will just plaster up a bunch of hashtag words.
Is this something that’s currently missing from the official app or am I just dumb?
I think it is on android still? In which case I recommend megladon. It’s a fork of the official app with more features, like following hashtags.
I thought all the third party apps were really ugly, so I was happy to find out about this
Thanks for the recommendation, just installed Megalodon and it works a treat 👍
