I know mastodon is very popular and I've browsed around a few times, but i don't really get it. It's person following instead of topic following, right? I had a Twitter account, but i only followed local bars, music venues, etc. to see upcoming events and happy hours deals. I can't think of a person i would want to follow.
For Twitter-alikes (Mastodon, Misskey, etc.) you probably want to be following hashtags instead of people, though that's not really what the UI will initially drive you towards. That'll let you follow topics and interests, with the option of also following people you find interesting from the hashtags you're following.
