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 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 @clew I follow people who interact with me. (And no, I'm not necessarily asking you to follow me.) I'm here for the interaction, not to send out self promotional nonsense or sell something. I'm thinking we need to keep the social in social media.

          Anyway, best of luck!

            @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.

                    @ombialik

                    My experience has been that the more people you follow, the better your timeline is.

                    I found that the amount of fun I was having made a jump once I got over around 600 accounts.

                    I found a few people I liked at first, then followed who they followed. Then looked in that group's follows and repeated the same.

                    Then as people liked or boosted my posts. I would follow them and go thru their follows and add people found there.

                    It takes a bit of time.

                    Good luck and welcome.

                                  @rockmastermike @ombialik I wish to make it very clear that I am a very silly person. Let there be no illusions. @OohOkayKay @abetterjulie @SRDas @the_etrain @Wallflower @vlrny @APBBlue @JustFrank @Alice @aliceamour @catsalad

                                    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 follow frequently.
                                        At first, don’t try to figure out whether they are quality or not, just follow.
                                        Then Unfollow. If needed.

                                          Follow tags, not people.
