It's smart to follow alot here on #mastodon because unlike #centralized#socialmedia where they feed you all sorts of shit based on their (manipulated) #algorithm, you aren't getting one damn toot until you fill your follow count. You have to follow a lot to get a rich experience.
That needs to be hammered for new #fediverse accounts: follow, follow, follow. Then follow some more.
Between that and the esoteric mystery of picking a server, a lot of people just don't get it.
