    I still habe trouble with mastodon. Some say it is like twitter others say it is not and you should not treat it that way. The improtant thing, how do i find good content there? I tried web search and trending hastags. Most of it is just random shit people wrote just a minute ago.

      @Gawanoh Do you mean with an account on a mastodon instance, or from Lemmy? In the web UI for mastodon, there is an explore tab that can show you what people on that server are boosting / favoriting the most, that can at least give you some users and threads to click on (to click on more users) and potentially follow them. You can also check the federated timeline, which will probably be way too much to read everything but if you are fishing for content you might find something good if you happen to look at the right time. A local timeline can show you good people too if you picked an instance with reasonable people on it (your definitions / millage may vary).

      If that doesn’t work or you are looking for accounts to follow from Lemmy / kbin, you could try using the https://fedi.directory website or #followfriday hashtag to find people recommending accounts.
