The differences between walled garden social media and the fediverse is significant. Not all users from the algorithmically driven varieties will find a new home in the fediverse, and I guess thats OK.
I have been a part of the Fediverse since 2017 and have built up a very different network of friends and interesting people and projects. The tempo is slower. I don't check the feed compulsively several times an hour as I often did with Twitter, but I do check in now and then and get occational notifications when low frequency / high quality posters put out something new.
It's different and it might not suit everyone, but I like it. It's more human and I'm more in control. And no ads, just people!
I never used the native Twitter app - my Twitter experience was solely through Tweetbot, and that was strictly a chronological timeline of posts from people I followed. Which is identical now to my mastodon experience with Ivory.
