I had to unfollow most generic hashtags because it was just random people talking about anything and using the tags, often in foreign language, or it was some personal stuff I don’t care about. It really gave me a bad first impression since it made mastodon look more like facebook or sth where people dump their personal stuff online, rather than a valid news source.
I’d instead recommend just following news or publications or groups that actually curate their content.
Follow #hashtags, my friend.
That’s the easiest way to find people with interests like your own.
Yeah thanks, that is the way. I found very often content related to tech and FOSS, wich is great.

It can be spammy at times though. For example, I had to unfollow the #music hashtag because it was mostly bots posting YouTube links.
