Who should I be following in the Fediverse?

Daniil Baturin

@tylerlwsmith @brunogirin Just checking: do you know that you can follow hashtags on Fediverse, rather than just individual accounts?

That's how I found most individual people I follow — by seeing their posts in my hashtag follow feed.

@tylerlwsmith hi there… instead of following specific people, you may want to start by following the hashtags you’re interested in. For example, #Development #HomeLabEt cetera.

@tylerlwsmith

Take note of who's posting the stuff you find most interesting, & then follow who they're following.

Also follow hashtags. Marvelous wide-aperture net.

@dmbaturin @tylerlwsmith @brunogirin What hashtags do you recommend? I'm fairly new myself and all the ones I've seen so far are low user/activity.

Edit: I found some, but still open to recommendations

Axomamma, Antifa's cousin*

@tylerlwsmith i recommend @llamasoft_ox - he's got sheep and a pony, and he does stuff with game stuff with computers but I'm there for the sheep and the pony. And the weekly trip to somewhere local for a nice curry.

@tylerlwsmith Also, I suggest you follow @LRRRonEarth to stay on his good side, so you don't end up as a snack.

@tylerlwsmith follow hashtags as well, you'll get way more pertinent content that way

wavefunction

@tylerlwsmith recommend @cadey and @soatok

Benedikt

@tylerlwsmith follow @dgar . He's funny, makes music, and brings good vibes. And occasionally he retoots stuff from really cool other people, that do interesting stuff

Benedikt

@tylerlwsmith and follow @bestiaexmachina or @Kitty for human made art (which brings unexpected warmth into your online life)

@SuperMoosie @tylerlwsmith Who was chasing radio signals?

Which beekeeper do you mean?

"Surprised Eel Historian" (greenleejw) used to be on historians.social, but that instance no longer exists. I think they disappeared with it rather than migrate to another instance.
