Okay, so I never used Twitter but figured I'd give Mastodon a try.
But what do you even do there? Is it just a place where you wait for specific people to shout into the void? And then what?
Also how do I even find interesting subjects or people to follow?

Sometimes it's useful following specific projects or organizations you're interested in to be notified when anything interesting is going on. In a way similar to an RSS feed I suppose

Whats an RSS feed?

[–] nils@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

Essentially a web feed to have a single timeline from multiple sources. Think of it as Google News but you manually choose the sources and it's chronological.

They are also RSS feeds by default, just append .rss to the back of the profile address and add to your feed reader. For example, to tune into Elvira Mistress of the Dark in your rss reader the link would be:

https://universeodon.com/@TheRealElvira.rss
