That's what I'm seeing too. Mastadon is kind of cool, there are some cool things to see there but it's in the world of Twitter, Instagram etc where it's all about the self promoting, and not about building community really.
I drink diet soda to not drink soda. I drink soda to not do drugs and alcohol. I'd much rather have heroin than diet coke, but I probably shouldn't ever have that again. So I'll have a diet coke, on ice please.
Mastodon has been a better alternative to reddit for me than Lemmy has so far tbh, except it's not as interactive with other people I less you chase followers. But the niche communities have more activity over there than here so far.
Disc golf. Most cities of moderate size have a course somewhere around and most are free to use. Can get started with 1 disc, about 10 to 12 dollars for a putter, all you'd need to start, or get a starter set of 3 discs for about 30 to 40 bucks at most sporting goods stores.
