@ombialik Welcome to Mastodon! Looking at your interests, a few of the folks I follow might appeal to you!
Writers/publishers @juliebozza and @petermball to begin with.
@skinnylatte has good posts; @Locusmag for SFF news.
I'm a writer too - fantasy, crime fiction (I love playing with the Holmes canon), queer romance. I'm serialising a steampunk SF Holmesian crime novel on my Patreon, if that appeals

@ombialik follow those hashtags you just made and here is my favorite discovery secret: install Flipboard. It will have recommendations and you can follow Flipboard accounts from here.
Oh, and try this too:

Another option for finding people to follow is to check out the timelines on other servers, for example https://wandering.shop/public/local for SF&FSome of the apps (eg. Fedilab) have this as built-in functionality ("Manage timelines"), or you can do it on the web

@ombialik@mastodon.world It can take a bit. The use of the hashtags seems to be a good thing. #writing seems to be something we have in common (though I am failing at that of late). Mostly what I've managed, was various short things. Nothing spectacular, but my expression tends to be in writing.

@ombialik I would recommend @FediFollows for a new category of recommendations every week or so. A sibling account is @FediVideo for PeerTube accounts you can follow if you want to begin exploring the wider fediverse.

Geekish humour:
@xkcd
@warandpeas@mastodon.social
@davidrevoyFor the queer culture and miniature painting as well as plenty of your other interests, circles are overlapping in so many ways, find the #nerdlings and #miniaturepainting posts. The painting community is awesome.

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 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.
