I found myself at not being able to find something that sparks my interest to follow on Mastodon. So please share with me your interesting finds. No restrictions…
Finding stuff on Mastodon is more about hashtags. Eventually, by subscribing to #stuff you’re interested in, you will discover accounts worth following. The Tusky app allows you to subscribe to hashtags like to an account. I don’t follow people anymore, I follow topics!
Realizing this blew my mind. Definitely more interesting than following people.
Not useful for finding people to follow but you now can also populate your feed with Lemmy communities. Also check out a.gup.pu !
Is mastodon worth signing up for, as a content creator?
I used to be a pretty avid tweeter - I’d post random things related to my job (software engineer), like gotchas I encountered, new articles I’d written etc etc, but I left Twitter when a certain somebody took over.
I’m not bothered about a large following, but I did enjoy randomly helping people that would see my tweets and fix their issue / help with the thing they were working on.
I’d say so!
I’m way more active on Mastodon than I was on Twitter.
Thanks! Maybe I’ll give it a go then!
It’s all about those #hashtags !!
Lists of people by topic: https://fedi.directory/ https://fediverse.info/explore/people
Mass-follow people by topic: https://communitywiki.org/trunk Or just follow a bunch of tags
And, once you have a few people that you follow, you can use this to find more based on whom they follow: https://followgraph.vercel.app/

I can’t seem to find much of anything or anyone to follow. So Lemmy, who is funny on Mastodon/where is the comedy hiding?
