How does one use Mastodon (or Twitter)? It just seems like a fire-hose of miscellaneous people’s thoughts. I think I prefer a discussion forum environment centered around specific topics.

That’s low key the charm of it. I use to only use reddit and it confused me too at first. I never used Twitter but on mastodon you can actually make friends with people. Friends who will discuss the topics you are interested in. I have queer friends on there and gamedev friend and math friends. We are interested in the same things, we boost posts that we all are interested in. Make general often vague looking posts because we know who will see it, like a long drawn out conversation. Its so much cozier than lemmy or reddit where everyone is trying to correct each other or yell at each other or be the cleverest comment in the thread. Thats been my experience of mastodon at least.

I’m not gonna lie, I have two problems with Lemmy, lack of niche communities (But we’ll wait for Reddit to finish dying) and I seriously can’t find the fucking porn

And I’m here surrounded in porn that I didn’t go looking for… perhaps some instances don’t handle NSFW?

Many instances defederate lemmynsfw.com and some also block all NSFW content.
There is porn, but to see it, you might have to create another account on a nsfw-friendly instance.

I’m on Lemm.ee, does it filter out porn or something?
Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
I’m not sure… I believe some instances do. I don’t know the difference between defederation and blocking. I just tried the lemm.ee web address and searched “all” and nothing porny turned up. Maybe there’s an nsfw filter you need to turn off? I’m not sure; but I do know there’s a tonne of porn here, somewhere. Good luck tracking it down.
