It is strange to search for hashtags and get no responses. I don't think I've been on a social platform where three searches in a row resulted in nothing in at least a decade.
@vaillancourtmax I know, that's what's so refreshing about it! I will watch it mature with interest.
@soaklord for some reason, Mastodon feels more "human" than other social networks (for now anyway, maybe bots will change that). I interacted with more people on Mastodon today than on any other social platform in the last month combined (!)
@vaillancourtmax That is most definitely true! I haven't had a desire to make bird sounds or facepalms or instant weight measurements in months. This has been a far more fulfilling day.
@soaklord I like that each instance is local, but I did find it strage at first too.
@soaklord same! It's fun seeing which ones are gradually starting to take root.
@soaklord well, it *is* a rather new platform
