New users, you have to follow WAY more people here for an active timeline than you did on Twitter.
If this place feels dead, you’re almost certainly not following enough other users.
There’s no centralized algorithm that just puts stuff in front of you - although you can subscribe to feeds.

I'm also skeptical of the need for people to create their own servers. I realize that they will be more integrated than Mastodon's but it goes against building a critical mass of users, adds complexity, and somewhat punts on content moderation.

I can also recommend Quiet Posters. It (only) shows you posts from your less-active follows

Latest from Follows is also interesting. It displays the latest (only 1) post from each account you follow

Just don't follow 20 people if you don't want the following 20 people experience (no content, no endless scroll)
I don't follow many people because one or two of a "type" of account/ single issue is enough for me, so I use it a lot.

You may have it set to a higher value that will hide any reply that hasn't received any Likes yet, which may make your main view seem quieter than it actually is.
i started off “over following” then unfollowed if it wasn’t my thing
I kinda wish there was an easier way to get the list of folks I'm following, though.
Feeds is excellent for stuff you're interested in. Puts it right in your top toolbar.
fuck
A smaller amount helps reel in the chaos. 😋
Still not enough music or drugs content here for my tastes yet.
