Who should I be following in the Fediverse?

[com@mastodon.social]

@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

[jubalbarca@scholar.social]

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

@tylerlwsmith

Your best bet it to follow all those hashtags. That will populate your home feed with topics you're interested in.

@MissGayle oh shoot, I didn't realize following hash tags was a thing, but now I'm seeing it on my sidebar. Great tip!

@tylerlwsmith i spend an embarassing amount of time on home assistant, and mocking computer security!

@tylerlwsmith sounds like you have plenty of suggestions...given your list, you have definitely come to the right place!

[silvermoon82@wandering.shop]

@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

[edolnx@kind.social]

@tylerlwsmith Welcome! I would suggest following some hashtags around your favorite languages, game tooling, and we dev tools and you'll pick up interesting folks to engage with and follow pretty quickly

@tylerlwsmith Hi Tyler! ️ I don't usually do this when someone asks who's worth following, but your list of topics makes me want to self-nominate. Lately my posts have been about half/half between fediverse development and human-computer interaction, where I do academic work. But I've previously posted about everything you've listed.
