This is the answer.
When I first joined, I had no idea what I was doing so I just joined mastodon.social. Unfortunately, I struggled to find discussions/content that interested me and there was also no Local feed, so it just felt empty and impersonal. After a short while, I just stopped using it.
Fast forward six months and after using Lemmy for a few weeks, I finally have my head around this Fediverse thing and decide to have another crack at Mastodon. This time, I searched around and found a smaller instance that is more aligned with my interests and straight away felt at home. Such a different experience this time around!
So yeah, the TL;DR is to shop around for a server that 1) you like the feel of, and 2) has a Local feed to make it easier to get involved with topics that are relevant to you, IMO.
