How do I engage?

I never used Twitter. Reddit was the only social media I engaged/posted on for years, moved to Lemmy a couple months ago. I made an account on Mastodon, downloaded moshidon, followed a bunch of hashtags, now I don't know what to do. Do I just start posting "Facebook status" type posts? Is Mastodon basically like individual Lemmy comment threads with hashtags being the main post?

Now I know how my parents feel when I try to explain anything outside of Facebook to them.

I never understood the point/purpose of "microblogging." It's like making an entire post out of a throwaway comment. That's what I saw on mastodon, didn't choose to participate. Also found it was hard to find people I wanted to follow, and that it was flooded with porn I wasn't interested in and couldn't effectively filter.
