It's not just you, there's been a lot of threads on let me talking about it but the problem with Mastodon is the fact that there is no content recommendation algorithm. You basically just get shown stuff from your local instance and maybe stuff it's Federated with. Which is pretty much guaranteed to be a bunch of useless garbage nobody is interested in and random cat pictures.

Bluesky is not perfect, but it's better than X and i can actually find content i want. I've tried so many times to Mastodon and it's just not worth it. Finding content is a huge effort and i don't want to put that effort in.

Blue Sky learned very quickly that I'm interested in artists content and now when I open it I find at least one new artist to follow each day so I can just open it scroll through the people I'm following look at the Discover tab to find a new one whose art I like and feel better that's just not going to happen on Mastodon

Totally agree. I like the Fediverse (that’s why I’m here), but it is just too hard to find interesting content on mastodon. This way it will never attract a large crowd.

Same experience

I though Mastodon had a search engine.

It does! It's worthless! (งツ)ว

Have to agree sadly. I searched and followed many people, still my feed is completely devoid of anything useful or interesting. I can keep digging but I feel like a 1% incremental gain from weeks of trying to set the network/profile up and giving zero results feels like a lost cause to some extent. I periodically check back, and it's more of the same unfortunately.
