Who should I be following in the Fediverse?

Who should I be following in the Fediverse? Twitter just makes me sad, and I need a new place to find people doing interesting things.
I'm interested in software development in any programming language, game development, web development, UI, design, and home lab stuff. I'm not interested in AI.

@tylerlwsmith Try looking through @FediFollows posts... I bet they have done some about your interests.
You don't have to browse my timeline, I have a website with accounts sorted into categories at https://fedi.directory

@tylerlwsmith shameless self-advertisement. I post a lot of non-tech stuff but occasionally I do some way-too-long tech deep dive like this one: https://mas.to/@gabrielesvelto/115939583202357863
@gabrielesvelto heck yeah this is the kind of deep dive I'm here for! You just got yourself a follow

If you see an interesting account, copy-paste its Fediverse address into the search box in Mastodon
This will make its profile appear on your server where you can click "follow".

@tylerlwsmith I enjoy reading stuff from @kevlin (active) and @davefarley77 (dormant), and will add my voice to those recommending you also follow some interesting hashtags - which will in turn lead you to discover more new interesting people.

@denny @kevlin @davefarley77 great callouts, I've spent a lot of time watching both of their YouTube videos!

@tylerlwsmith One of the best ways is to post stuff with hashtags. And people will spot these.
And also - have patience. Follow those who seem interesting, and when they post, see who replies. It takes time to build up your people.
But it is worth it.
@SteveClough great tip! I hadn't even considered it because hashtags stopped being popular on Twitter in like 2019
