Overseeded nightmare lawn... What next?

Firstly I want to thank everyone who gave their advice previously. I now have a lawn which, in parts, is nice and green. These photos are following overseeding, which was done a couple of weeks ago. The grass isn't growing anywhere near as fast as some of the posts I've seen on here. As you can see, there are still some patches. Do I cut and then seed these with top soil and compost like before? Will the timing mess with when I have to feed the lawn? Thanks again

Update: Thanks for all the advice. I went out and got some top soil and compost (roughly 50/50), and spread it as evenly as I could, flattened (duck walking up and down the garden like a madman), watered, and now to wait (while watering regularly).

Thanks again!

Hello! I've just scaryfied a very mossy lawn that hadn't had any care since the house was built a few years ago. Prior to this I applied some organic moss killer, aerated the lawn, and left it for a couple of weeks.

As expected there are plenty of bare patches as the lawn was at least 50% moss. I know I need to overseed and top dress, but I'm not sure if I use top soil, or compost. Also do I need fertiliser?

Thanks!
