Might get banned from the #forkiverse for this, but I think I need the Algorithm. How am I supposed to know who to follow, what to pay attention to, or what’s going to be most interesting to me without an Algorithm feeding it to me? Old Facebook worked because it was my friends, but this is just a bunch of random people I don’t know. How do I navigate this? I feel like the humans in WALL-E freed from their entertainment pods unable to navigate the world.

Hey there 👋
This guide might help, it's intended for new people in this situation: https://fedi.tips/does-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-use-algorithms-does-it-start-pushing-stuff-at-me-based-on-my-interactions/
I'd also highlight the guide on how to discover people to follow ( https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-find-accounts-to-follow-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-how-do-i-find-my-friends ) and how to make yourself more discoverable ( https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-get-more-followers-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse ).
There are also lots more guides for new people at https://fedi.tips and feel free to ask if you want help, I'm trying to provide tech support around here 🙂
