You know best what you want to see on your home feed. No algorithms or ads to waste your time. Follow anyone across any Mastodon server from a single account and receive their posts in chronological order, and make your corner of the internet a little more like you.
Now, their onboarding website has an easy-to-use guide to finding a server home instance that suites you. You can still connect to anyone anywhere else across the Mastodon network, or even the Fediverse, but your home instance server can show a local feed relating to its main topic of interest.
It is especially interesting to see so many now dedicated to particular cities or regions around the world, but also for artists, ham radio, activism, technology including specifically open source, and more as part of the 2,800 known servers.
Just judging from the way more interaction, I get on Mastodon (I post the same on Twitter and Mastodon), it seems Mastodon users are far more easily able to see posts of interest to them as they don't have adverts and other odd manipulations of their feed algorithm. It's just a cleaner experience.
