What hashtags do you follow? Most things I try to look up end up having a majority of the posts in Japanese or German.

I’ve tried to stick with mastodon for a while and after using it for months, your description of checking it out is STILL what my feeds look like. That’s all there seems to be on Mastodon.

If all Mastodon wants is linux shit then only linux people are gonna stick around. Never mind that I get the exact same linux posts on bluesky from the same people on top of other topics I care to follow.

Mastodon would be fine if all I cared to follow was Linux news and if I understood German and Japanese.

Because no one is on it. I don’t do twitter/facebook-like social media to interact exclusively with random people. I have no family or friends on Mastodon and couldn’t tell you if any “content creators,” for the lack of a better term, that I follow elsewhere are on it to follow.

Can’t hurt to make an alt account on a lemmy instance as a back up even if you don’t end up switching full time.

Iowa actually, Ohio banter is becoming somewhat universal I think. A different flavor of the Florida man meme.

The person that runs my home instance appears to be from Ohio, I don’t think I can sanction that buffoonery. /s

I’ll kick some money towards them once I get bills for the month sorted.

Why?
