The one big issue I've found with Mastodon so far is how difficult it is to follow people from other instances.
You need to get the link, open your own Mastodon client, paste the link, and then click follow.
4 steps vs only 1 for Twitter or other centralized platforms.
@sachagreif Unless they’re not specifically people you’re looking for, in which case you can just tap their name/photo and then tap follow.
The social network of the future: No ads, no corporate surveillance, ethical design, and decentralization! Own your data with Mastodon!
