I rejoined Mastodon last week, after people on here taught me how to use it properly. 😂
I’ve almost exclusively used it since and found some decent people through it. The only reason I’ve logged in to Twitter is because of two friends who haven’t moved yet. I’ll keep working on them to get them to switch. 😂
I only used the official app and couldn’t figure out how to curate my timeline. It’s only afterwards that people told me I had to follow hashtags, which it’s not possible to do on the official app (for some bizarre reason).
Now I’m using Tusky on Android and have got a timeline that works and is relevant to me.
I was about to say that’s crazy, you can absolutely follow hashtags from the official app… then I realized I’ve been using the PWA which I actually prefer over both apps.
(Not to say that Tusky is bad, try all the versions and pick the one that works for you.)
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@lemmy.world
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.

How were you using it wrong?

You absolutely can follow hashtags on the official app. Tap a hashtag on a post, or search for one and there is a follow button.
