I totally get your point. I want to like it too, but so far the only channels that I've found worth following are Veronica Explains and The Linux Experiment, and even then, Veronica doesn't post very often. I was also following a comics channel but they faded away.
My guess (I don't know for sure) is that Mastodon is interpreting all posts in "/c/perth" as a thread with #perth added to it, and for example, all the /c/asklemmy's will be seen by them as #asklemmy (regardless of which instance's /c/asklemmy it is). So if they follow #perth, they'd get all our /c/perth posts.
I haven't looked into inter-format federation much but as we've seen, it can get funky. Consider this (pseudo-)community: https://aussie.zone/c/thelinuxexperiment_channel@tilvids.com
It's really Lemmy reading this PeerTube video channel as a community, so we can basically subscribe to and comment on a video channel from here!
Also look into invidious.
And peertube, some content creators also post there, e.g., The Linux Experiment.

- @thelinuxexperiment@tilvids.com is pretty neat. I like his reviews and news in the space.
- @jeffjagoe@beetoons.tv I like the non-smash bros content they pop out once in a while.
- @veronicaexplains@tinkerbetter.tube She has some awesome linux and linux specific content. We watch her content over at our local makerspace when she has new videos.
- https://tilvids.com/videos/overview - Awesome instance with great channels. Also one of the best support structures ive seen for peertube.
- @coolmancoffeedan@beetoons.tv - Some strange stuff, but mostly uplifting? I think?
I switched to Linux in October of last year and found “The Linux Experiment” to be really helpful in keeping up-to-date with things happening in the community without feeling overwhelmed

Pop is a great starting point. Others have mentioned Mate, Cinnamon, or Ubuntu, and those are likewise pretty easy to start with. Pop is the one that I install on my kids' and parents' computers, because it's that easy, and it's also the one that I use daily because it has some key features (I'll say below).
Hopefully by now you've already read or watched some videos about differences between using Windows and various Linux distributions. If not, here's one channel on TilVids (a fediverse version of youtube) that I think has some useful stuff: https://tilvids.com/c/thelinuxexperiment_channel/videos
This video from System76 also gives a short and straightforward intro to the pop desktop environment:
[Edit: actually, I should link to the pop os info page because the explanations there are more up to date.]
Here are my key features, in order of how I think a new user might care about them:
- the launcher: Other linux distros have a similar one, but pop's is a little more streamlined. On pop and the other distros with launchers, it's a little different and I think a lot better than the Windows/Mac versions. It's worth learning about and using.
- virtual desktops: All linux distros have this, and if you haven't used them before I highly recommend taking the time to get used to them. Pop has some nice features to make switching workspaces a little easier, but they might be the same or similar to other distros (I'm not sure).
- pop shop: Most linux distros have a similar thing, and actually I think Pop's version is a little worse (a little more laggy/buggy). But, as an interface for finding the software you actually want to install, it's way better than the windows/mac app stores. This is another thing that's worth learning and using, even though it's different. You might have seen a lot of arguments online about flatpak v.s. snap v.s. appimage (if not, don't bother). For a beginner, I think it's now worth suggesting to just use flatpak apps whenever possible, and you can find them in the pop shop.
- nvidia drivers: Only relevant if you have nvidia graphics, but if you do, the pop disk image with those drivers already integrated is much easier than figuring out how to set them up in other distros.
- window tiling: Pop is the only distro that makes this so easy to set up and use; at first I thought it would be terrible, because it's so different from what I was used to, but for productivity it's actually much better. Now that I'm used to it, I really miss it in other desktop environments. (It's possible to install a similar thing on other distros--this is linux after all--but my impression is that it's kind of a hassle.)

I like tilvids.com.
thelinuxexperiment_channel is my fav. on this.
I also enjoy watching Drew Devault's videos.
All of these are tech related though.
