I have no issues finding content on mastodon, just search and follow hashtags.

And most people prefer content algorithms. Or maybe a better way of phrasing it would be they're used to and expect content algorithms. Having to actively search for and follow topics is not only yet another hoop users have to jump through (good UX has as few steps as possible to get you where you want, a good chunk of users jumps ship at every step) it also requires that they know which hashtags are being used for the content they want to see beforehand, which might be difficult for you if you relied on content algorithms before.

Not only that have you seen user-generated content? There is absolutely no consistent tagging whatsoever. That is like the worst way to find things because everyone will tag things differently assuming they even tag it at all

Mastodonโ€™s stance on the matter has been strongly opposed to algorithmic feeds

But thanks to ActivityPub (the protocol behind Mastodon and Lemmy) thereโ€™s also Minds (warning contains cryptocurrencies) https://help.minds.com/hc/minds/articles/1694176102-feeds

Weird how a marginal effort immediately puts people off.
WALL-E and Idiocracy vibes...

This is how society has always been I will continue to be. That is why your self-custody bitcoin wallet will never replace debit card and your non nerdy friends will never use Linux. The barrier of entry is the difference between mainstream and fringe.

The point being idiocracy is increasing with each generation.
