Mastodon is more like a garden than a grocery store. If you spend the time to slowly build your network by following interesting people and hashtags, Mastodon can be an amazing experience where you actually have real human interactions.
It's not good for viral marketing or mass produced content in my opinion, but if you start by following a few people that boost a lot of other posts, then you'll find content in time. Every time you see an interesting post, follow that person. If it later turns out that it's not for you you can unfollow it and it's not a big deal.
