   FINDING PEOPLE AND CONTENT

   A lot of people have joined Mastodon, only to then look at their home timeline and see it bare. As there is no algorithm here to fill it with content for you, it is key to learn how to find people to follow from across the Fediverse and how to follow hashtags to help you find the content you are interested in.

   The search capability in Mastodon is a bit different to other platforms and so it is important to learn how the #search features work.

   Here is a short video on how to best use search to find what you want and I also cover why you may sometimes not initially find what you are expecting.

   Please #boost to help spread the knowledge and if you like the content I make, feel free to subscribe to the channel.
