I'm pretty new to the whole Lemmy thing, but I figured I'd ask peoples' opinions on whether it's worth it to get into Mastodon too now that I'm officially a member of the Fediverse.

Is it active? Is it worth it? Have you had good experiences there?

That was my experience too, following widely used hashtags just results in a mess of people tagging everything personal with them, in foreign languages, or sometimes even irrelevant things just to get clicks. And all this content is treated equally when it comes to populating my home page. I've had some luck following individuals but that's also just random chance who you find. It really needs the bigger content creators and personalities there in order to take off as twitter replacement so there's some consistency and quality.
