Same as that, I stopped using it because it was so so narrow in scope.
That said I hated Twitter and never used it, never had it installed.
I’ve followed a few, but basically everything I’d be even remotely interested in seem to be near-dead (at least in English).

What topics are you looking for? These threads never specify what topics you’re looking for! 😄

I’m personally more intro the more popular geeky hobbies, likes video games, Warhammer, History, and building computers, but like I said, I’m open to other quality content as long as it isn’t too niche.

Oh are you kidding there’s SO MUCH Warhammer on Mastodon. Check out the local feed of warhammer.social. There’s also wargamers.social but obviously a bit broader in focus.
Even if you just follow #Warhammer there’s a decent amount but then you can add in other tags like #Warhammer40k, #GamesWorkshop, #AgeOfSigmar, #Necromunda, #BloodBowl, #WarHamFam, #WarhammerCommunity, #Wargaming, #MiniaturePainting and damn we have got ourselves a feed going!
I’m sure I read a post on one of the communities here recently that was showing off their entry to a Mastodon-based painting competition as well.
As far as things like gaming go obviously that’s a pretty wide topic and it’s gonna depend what you’re looking for. #VideoGames or #Gaming for example gets you a lot of news headlines. Specific game tags e.g #Starfield will get you a mixture of news, streamers, screenshots, memes and of course people aggressively complaining. Or maybe you’re interested in seeing what sorts of games small indie creators are making in which case something like #DevLog might be of interest.
I know your original post is asking for “notable content creators” which it seems like you’re using to mean “big accounts”. But really if it’s interesting content on a topic you enjoy, the size of the account posting it doesn’t matter.
And naturally since you said you’re open to other “quality content” I do also recommend #Knitting because we’re surprisingly active and also cool af.

Maybe I’m on the wrong instance or something. I already follow most of those hashtags, but only tend to get like one post a day per hashtag. I also found most of the content was spam and low quality posts, which was part of why I was trying to find people to follow; I was hoping to find sources for more consistently good content.
