I'm still struggling to find my footing here on Mastodon. A bit with the platforms and tags, but mostly finding people to follow. I'm a bit all over the place, posting about my #writing, be it academic or fiction (mostly #SciFi), and about cool #Science I ran into, and the more common than it should be - complain about stuff.
I'm interested in #SFF, #publishing, #MiniaturePainting, science, #queer culture, academia, human sexuality, geekish humor, #comics & #EarthSci.Recommend people to me!
@ombialik
It's not miniature painting, but if miniature paintings also qualify follow @DavidZinn -

@ombialik your profile only shows up as following 35 people? If this is a case and not a glitch, you need to be following hundreds before your timeline feels like a good version of other algorithm-based platforms.
@philbetts I never used the algorithmic feed on any of the platforms I'm on (now I'm mostly here and on BlueSky). I just very slowly locate by topic and curate interesting people to follow.

@ombialik Some people I'd recommend: @NylaWoethief (science-fantasy fiction), @amin (runs #WritingMonth, good insight into tech, every xkcd comic ever), @technologyconnections_mirror (good videos on technology) @prahou (brilliant art for our dark, wondrous age)

@ombialik as others wrote before: follow hashtags, then see who's posts you like (or mostly stay with just hashtags altogether - that spares you stuff people post about topics that don't interest you)

@dantheclamman @Lilysea
It's a very small world, especially in some fields of research. -
@NickSchwanck Honesty and directness are appreciated.

@ombialik Sorry I can't really help with recommendations - but I can boost this so maybe people who can see it more easily.

@EyesOnNature Appreciated, although getting a bit overwhelming. Didn't expect to get this much response (or new followers).

@ombialik I don't have recommendations for people but perhaps subscribing to some very special hashtags can help you discovering people: #academicChatter #WritersCoffeeClub #PennedPossibilities #writingCommunity #writersCommunity #writersOfMastodon #PhantastikPrompts

@ombialik write all over the place, tag stuff, post pictures, rage about academia, and generally just enjoy yourself shout at the void for a bit and people will find you. Hop on replies and hashtag stuff*
masto is a slow burn, but because of that you really get to know people.
*hashtagging the one appearance of a Gargoyle in Dr Who in 1970 and then going on it for three years may not be a wholly viable strategy

@ombialik I hope that's a good thing, as soon as the feeling of being overwhelmed has faded!
