How do you not feel overwhelmed using Mastodon? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I feel like everyone suggests following hashtags, but depending on the hashtag, I find the content that's being posted quite overwhelming when it comes to the amount of toots, and that it's hard to get an overview. Anyone that relates?

I don't have anyone suggesting to me to follow hashtags. Just the indication that it's a thing I can do if I want.

Given the number of hashtags I see in some posts (esp heavy hashtag users (whom I hate cause the post becomes almost unreadable)) I can certainly see the number of posts returned for any given hashtag could be instantly overwhelming.

I've never actually followed a hashtag so don't have much to say about that... Other than perhaps that maybe has something to do with why I don't feel overwhelmed on Mastodon. 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️

I just handpick and choose entities (people/news sources) to follow.
