I don’t even understand what’s difficult about mastodon or lemmy. Just pick a server forget about it and enjoy the better communities
So, I don't use Mastodon for the same reason I never used Twitter (I don't need a microblog and I'd rather read other people's regular-sized blogs), but point 2 sounds like a problem. How do you decide who to follow, when you're working from a blank slate? I presume you need to see several of someone's posts before you can know if you'd like to follow them, so if Mastodon doesn't show you any posts by default how do you get started?
start searching the platform for things you're interested in and follow people with interesting related posts. after a while you've got an actual personal feed
