I'm trying to adjust my Mastodon experience by finding more folks to follow.
Of the folks I follow now, a group of them engage each other a lot, one guy I follow who doesn't follow me back, and me very little unless I initiate it. That interaction is very much an ongoing, everyday conversation amongst friends. It's weirdly similar to how I started on that other site decades ago.
I don't love it.
I don't want small talk. I want engagement over shared interests. I want generative conversation. I did have an awesome zoom chat with someone I found here. I'm trying to organize a trip to an art org about 90 minutes away to meet another guy and see his work. I want more of this!
When I click on my introduction hashtags, I get quickly to my own post with those hashtags. I'm a bit stymied, and thinking I may just not find what I want on mastodon. Advice is welcome!
Addendum 4/29/2023: I wish I hadn't put the sentence abt small talk. Feel free to ignore it.
