I dunno. I joined Mastodon back in 2022 and just…followed people.
They weren’t the same people as on Twitter, but it didn’t really matter in the end. I now follow almost 600 people and never feel like my feed is empty.
One social media site doesn’t have to be better than another, it just has to be sufficient for your needs.
That takes a long time. I tried the same on Mastodon and ended up losing interest. I went to bluesky and just followed some starter packs and was up and running in less than an hour with 1000+ follows and a nice feed. Within a few weeks I had more than 700 followers myself.

See, I don’t understand why anyone would need to immediately follow that many randoms. And I don’t get the need to speedrun social media.
But hey, it takes all sorts.
Maybe you can try following the Starter Packs of subjects that you like?
