In my humble opinion, the Fediverse beats out all other social media types based on one simple truth - it’s a fuckton more fun.

I hear you - when starting out, you’re not presented with a front-page or /r/all, so you do have to actively look for content.
My suggestion to you would be start following folks, especially across instances, and be liberal with your subscriptions.
Once I got up to about 100 folks on my following list, I started finding a huge amount of active communities to subscribe to through their posts and threads (I’m on Kbin, so we get both Mastodon and Lemmy), which further increased the reach of my feed. Right now, with about 120 folks followed and a similar number of community subscriptions, my feed is beating the pants off of the sad stale crap Reddit is delivering.
