    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.

      @ombialik Not specific recommendations, but I wonder if these directories and other resources would be useful:

          @ombialik what hashtags are you following? I find more cool people to follow through the tags they use. Remember here you are the algorithm so follow tags that reflect your interests. Over time you can easily weed out any annoying people who use said tags through blocking.

            @ombialik You seem to be following lots of people. I follow enough people to scroll my feed for maybe an hour before it feels stale and share stuff I've found interesting from my RSS feed along with dig pictures.

            What are you hoping for from the platform?

                    @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. ๐Ÿ™‚

                            @ombialik

                            You need to subscribe to hashtags. The fediverse as I understand it has never been about individual followers or influencers. It's about topics and conversations. Those happen across hashtags. By subscribing to hashtags, your feed is full of the topics you love. You don't have to follow people to see what's happening in any field.

                            PS - the converse of this is always put hastags at the end of your posts. (Not in the middle, which messes up screen readers.)

                                    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.

                                    @ombialik I wrote an electronica concept album about how the laws of physics and astronomical revelations can be used as an analogy for love. I think we could get on!

                                      @ombialik I'd recommend @davidrevoy and @OhJoySexToy, they seem to overlap some of your interests ๐Ÿ™‚

                                          @ombialik from your list just about anyone on wandering.shop, maybe start with @cstross

                                          Also @scalzi

                                          @mz4250 wrt minis.

                                          For queer culture and sexuality and geekish humour uh uh that's kinda unavoidable? Try looking at what's trending on your local server...

                                          You can use the web interface to check what's trending on other servers too
