Mastodon is built differently. Just like the birdsite, you won't see every toot in existence but the 'why' is different. On birdsite, an #algorithm decided. Here, it's your #social connections that truly, organically determine what you see.
It works because it gives you control over who you interact with, and the people you interact with shape the timelines of you and all your neighbors.
