I've been reading various guides about Mastodon ( thanks to @design_RG ) to participate more effectively.
One thing I don't get is why it is people focused rather than topic focused (like reddit).
Specifically, I don't really understand how to follow a topic...
Like, do I have to search using a hashtag everytime I want to keep up with something??
if you use the advanced mastodon interface, and you search for a hashtag, it will create a new column.
You can then pin that column, and it will stay open and refresh with new toots containing the hashtag.

Whoa, that's pretty neat! It sounds kinda like an RSS feed.
I'll check it out when I'm on my PC later!
