@ombialik for mini painting I would check out @RollleafD and find other great follows from his boosting. There's also the !@nerdlings group and #nerdlings hashtag

@ombialik @janeishly It takes a while to find your feet, but follow @TheBreadmonkey, and, frankly, most of us on beige.party, or those loons on jorts.horse, and see how you get on. Give it a few weeks to bed in. Hello, by the way.

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

I recommend @lisamelton and @RickiTarr as these two will fill your timeline with interesting people and whimsy...

@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?

@ParadeGrotesque Thank you so much for the recommendation and including me with the always delightful @RickiTarr. 🥰

@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.

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 also follow #Astrodon and also #astronomy #telescope and #AstroPhotography too.

@ombialik for miniature painting I'd point you to @erikcats, @DrH, @roofuskit for a start (and humbly myself). Welcome and boost freely!
