How do you not feel overwhelmed using Mastodon? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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?

I think the main idea is to look at some hashtags to find people to follow, then eventually wean off those hashtags if you want.

Another key detail is that you can’t read it all. Not hashtags, not people. You’ll go nuts if you try. It’s about following people who are interesting, opening the app every once in a while to check in, then going on with your day.
