Quinn Comendant

@tylerlwsmith @rysiek Follow hashtags! Then you’ll see the posts about topics you like, and will find new people who post on those topics. E.G., #buildInPublic, #webDev, #programming, #devTools, #UI, #homeLab

James Baillie

@tylerlwsmith Lots of people on the game dev instances. @MAMG and @Exilian might both be of interest on the game dev adjacent side?

@tylerlwsmith
A few good ones:
* @sundogplanets is an astronomer who talks about space junk (and space junk that has become Saskatchewan junk)
* @mos_8502 posts about electronics and stuff, and is making a neo-retro game console
* @futurebird posts about ants with such joy and enthusiasm that you find yourself excited about ants too
* @sinituulia posts about cats and clothes and sewing and silliness
* @eclectech makes cute and silly pictures
* @moonrabbit makes raku ceramic spirits and friends
