@catraxx @tylerlwsmith true story.

[fsonder@mastodon.ie]

@tylerlwsmith I chat about Space & Junk and Irish & Danish stuff. Stuff that interests me.

[gabrielesvelto@mas.to]

@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@mas.to]

@tylerlwsmith or this https://fosstodon.org/@gabrielesvelto/112407741329145666

It looks like the site is protected by anti-scrape tech and some form of captca/verification.

I've tested on multiple devices and networks, the site works.

[ninjadodo@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@tylerlwsmith For gamedev have a browse through the mastodon.gamedev.place server and also check the #indiedev #gamedev tags. Lots of people making interesting stuff.

@GigaByte4711 if I tried a VPN server in Japan, it worked. Germany and Canada, it doesn't work for me.

In case this is useful, here's a list of all the different ways to discover people to follow on here: https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-find-accounts-to-follow-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-how-do-i-find-my-friends

[themightygit@mstdn.social]

@tylerlwsmith it's prob been mentioned but - follow hashtags, lots of hashtags. Coming from twitter you'll be reluctant to, as I was, but it's glorious!

[gigabyte4711@whitespashe.uk]

@leavex

Might be worth pinging one of the admins about it being unavailable there:

@alex
@Mayana
@carbontwelve
@austin

[drgroftehauge@sigmoid.social]

@tylerlwsmith Just look at the local timelines from hachyderm, gamedev.lgbt and tech.lgbt

[ivor@social.ivor.org]

@tylerlwsmith @eniko for lots of reasons.

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@ivor @tylerlwsmith should i boost this post? you might get a lot more replies than you bargained for >_>

[alice@beige.party]

@alice@lgbtqia.space @tylerlwsmith @catsalad @deviantollam @dramypsyd @skeletor I was about to pop in and be like "I think someone tagged the wrong Alice" but then I realized that the person who tagged me is the right Alice who also happens to be my favorite Alice!

[agowa338@chaos.social]

@tylerlwsmith

As you're not on a self-hosted instance all by yourself you could have a look at your instances "Trending" or "Live feed" timeline. And there you've "This server" as well as "All" [all that are federated with your instance] and "Other servers" (which is the same as all but without everything that is also in "This server").

Then follow everyone that posts about things you like. That's basically it

Oh and you can also follow hashtags. You may also check those out, too.
