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.

@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.

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

@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 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

@ombialik I'm a bit biased, but maybe @gendercensus? (It's my project but it's definitely #queer culture and very nerdy!)

@ombialik
A good trick is that when you find somebody whose posts you like, take a look at what people they follow (or boost). Chances are they're interesting to you as well.I know a form of following lists is coming. But I agree that the initial finding people is the most difficult part here. Once you have enough people, finding new people happens naturally through their boosts.
