Good luck. Hope you like it. I never really used Twitter because I felt like it was hard to figure out how to use it to see interesting stuff in your feed. Then I tried Mastodon and had about the same experience. Not sure how it is now, but I tried a few months ago (maybe January or something) and there wasn’t a ton of activity so it was stale after a few wks using it and I gave it up.
I’ve like Lemmy a lot better but I think that’s because I always liked Reddit better.
When you first start do a search on hashtags for subjects that you like, and subscribe to them. That’ll quickly build up a feed for you to scroll through.
Then you can add people after that once your feed is established.
They’ll tell you to sign up to small instances. Honestly ignore that advice. There’s a bug nobody’s fixed since 2016 that makes smaller instances nonviable imo. https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/34
I should try Mastodon

Same here. Forum-like, message board like communication is more my style.
There are dozens of us I say! Dozens!
