In mastodon it's not about following accounts but following hashtags instead. So find hashtags that describe your hobbies and your feed will start to become interesting to you.
It's so hard to find populated hashtags though. I wish there was more discourse on mastodon but it's just people shouting into the void.
The key is to tag all your posts, so other people can find them. You get followers here and there, but not too often. I never post of Lemmy, but post a ton of stuff on Mastodon. TBH, I mostly doom scroll RSS these days.
Basically Inoreader -> InstaPaper -> Mastodon
Frickin love RSS feed. I've actually gotten bad about populating it with my favorite YouTubers and the git projects I've been following lately. Plus archlinux news updates of course.
I use feeder though, it does the job but it doesn't pull the websites directly.
Yeah, I love Inoreader cause it's got a paywall jumper built in, even on the free plan. I've been wanting to get a self hosted one, but they are all a PITA to setup or don't have a good multi device sync.
