Twitter/microblogging is a weird thing in general but you seem to have the idea. It can be useful for following events or people who write interesting things.
Mastodon hashtags are the way to discover conversations and people to follow, they go across instances in search.
Those words don't make sense to someone new to this
I feel like twitter has been around long enough that people that want to use a platform like it will be aware of the concept of a hashtag for finding posts on a topic, etc.
If you know how to use Twitter, then you aren't "new to this".
The person said they never used twitter
Shit. You're right. That's what happens when you comment on stuff right after rolling out of bed.
Lol I totally empathize with you!
Basically I use mastodon as a feed for entertaining shit that I can easily interact with. I follow a bunch of artists and comedians. I scroll down and am entertained. If I want to be extra nice, I leave a comment and tell the artist they are super cool. People usually reply back, which is nice!
And because it is part of the fediverse, you can follow people from all kinds of apps! It's pretty cool :)
