I feel like 75% of Mastodon are people talking about Linux. If you don’t care about Linux you feel alienated. I enjoy Mastodon and Lemmy, but the lack of more diverse subjects gets to me if I browse for too long.

Update: I took your advice and purchased a laptop for Linux, and now I care about it! Problem solved.

    I would say just subscribe to stuff you like and don’t doom scroll for hours. A 15 min session is all you need to catch up for a day in your interests. Also make some posts in stuff you like and care about.

      Totally. While I do want the Fediverse to grow, I have to admit enjoying that the scroll is not quite endless. It really highlights how much garbage we encounter on a daily basis that exists purely to distract and entertain us since I don’t really feel like I’m having FOMO or anything but I’m scrolling way less.

        Twitter was designed to be addictive, whereas Mastodon was specifically designed to not be addictive. That’s why scrolling Mastodon feels so boring after a while.

      I am subscribed to a shit ton of Linux related communities, but seems like I don’t need to ;D
