Got to admit I'm having a hard time curating a feed on Mastodon, or rather, finding the time and muse to curate a feed.

I was always the guy who never had music play lists, or paid for music streaming services like Spotify or Deezer. Looking up music, picking it out, adding them to play lists, creating multiple ones... All that just couldn't keep up with "I'm going to enter what I want in that very moment into the YouTube search bar". Creating a feed on Mastodon feels the same, head space wise.

I'd have to look up specific has tags because I can't just enter random terms in the search, and hope the other person actually used hashtags. There is no algorithm that would help me find content once I got around to find a few artists and scientists and the likes. So that falls entirely to the user, which has its positives, but causes me to feel the same way about it than the music playlist.

I also don't feel like posting a lot here - I consciously joined a STEM server because I love to read about all that science stuff. But looking at my Twitter feed, I barely post about them myself. Should I have multiple Mastodon accounts, one for searching, one for posting, and sync them? I'm a bit lost. And rather feel like creating a music playlist.
