I've lurked on Mastodon for a while and honestly your experience will be only as good as your instance you subscribed to. Fosstodon is a very focused instance with like minded people, and the local feed there is pretty top notch. My experience on more "general" focus instances was a lot worse and borderline spammy.
Hoping they put effort in making your activity pub profile more portable as move accounts to new servers is still kludgey at best.
That's accurate. But there's also a local feed you can consume (all the people on your instance), which is kind of a workaround if you can't be bothered with finding a fair amount of people to follow for your own timeline to be interesting.
