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.

Maybe try just browsing the local feed or looking up hashtags of things you like, might help you find new people

Maybe a monthly/quarterly coordinated push to get people to migrate would be more effective at making it push through, rather than tiny blips of "Hey, maybe Mastodon?" on occasion.

And then whenever people inevitably try it and decide not to stay, as I did, make sure to pick up on any feedback and take it seriously. Maybe after a year it'll be a genuinely desirable alternative.

I personally think it's a messy pile of junk.

Beep boop, I'm a bot or some shit like that.

I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with I miss it so bad. This makes my face sad.

We're always trying to improve, in fact we independently recently identified an issue with Just having bots echo what those accounts say along wi... and were impressed that you'd even notice such a specific issue! Less than 1% of our users are as talented and observant as you are. We truly care, so keep those comments coming and we can help you interaction makes it less fun..

Have a great day!
