I feel like everyone suggests following hashtags, but depending on the hashtag, I find the content that's being posted quite overwhelming when it comes to the amount of toots, and that it's hard to get an overview. Anyone that relates?

When I was new to Mastodon, I followed everyone who might maybe have something interesting to say (e.g. open source projects that I've never used but found somewhat interesting).

Right now I have 43 tabs open on my phone most of which are links from Mastodon I haven't yet gotten around to reading... I think you can see why nowadays I tend to unfollow more things than I newly follow.
