I feel like everyone suggests following hashtags, but depending on the hashtag, I find the content that's being posted quite overwhelming when it comes to the amount of toots, and that it's hard to get an overview. Anyone that relates?

People keep giving the advice of following hashtags. That might be good advice for really obscure ones where you're almost guaranteed to be interested in anything posted, but I think it's terrible advice generally.

Follow users, and hide their boosts or unfollow them if it turns out they make your feed less interesting.
