I've lurked on Mastodon for a while and honestly your experience will be only as good as your instance you subscribed to. Fosstodon is a very focused instance with like minded people, and the local feed there is pretty top notch. My experience on more "general" focus instances was a lot worse and borderline spammy.

Hoping they put effort in making your activity pub profile more portable as move accounts to new servers is still kludgey at best.

I thought it does not matter which instance one choosen, since you see posts from all the other instances?

That's accurate. But there's also a local feed you can consume (all the people on your instance), which is kind of a workaround if you can't be bothered with finding a fair amount of people to follow for your own timeline to be interesting.
