Yeah, been considering migrating to a non-Mastodon instance. Not sure where, though. Wouldn't mind using Lemmy as my entrypoint to the Fediverse, but I don't think, you can follow individual users here...
I like Calckey the most as it has the best thread view out of all fediverse software. Akkoma is simpler and more lightweight if you prefer that, but I find its thread UI hard to grasp.
I can't really use mastodon for the same reason... I like following interests and communities, not people.
After I follow a few ppl that post a few times a day, it becomes a full time job just to read ppl's posts. I have no idea how so many ppl use the twitter model.
@butter, @Dessalines, I've grown quite fond of Friendica for that very thing, following things, not just people. Not only does it let me follow topics via tags, but things like #lemmy and #guppe get added as "forums", plus I can follow any #RSS or #Atom feed. All of these are added the same as adding any other contact (follow). All of these different ways of following things get listed in the same area of my account, as "contacts", where they can be easily separated into to multiple groups (lists). Each followed hashtag, forum, contact group, or protocol type is always listed down the

I know that other #fediverse / #ActivityPub interfaces such as #Pleroma, #Akkoma, #Misskey, #Calckey, #Hubzilla, and #Streams have some/all of these capabilities, each to their own extent. However, having played around extensively with all of them, I've come to find that #Friendica is the one that works best for me. And at the end of the day, this is the only thing that matters. It may be a bit time consuming, but trying all the things is the best (only?) way to see how they'll work for you.
It is a little weird that everyone here seems to be a communist. Does the platform attract the mindset or does the mindset gravitate to the platform? Just something I've noticed...
It's a bit of both, but it's also instance specific. Most of it comes from lemmygrad, because there is a lot of cross federation between users and groups on lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. On a smaller instance without much interaction with lemmygrad, you won't see the same scenario

It's very light, though.

I don't know any of the other hashtags you mentioned.
