@ombialik some other writers i know here are @OohOkayKay, @abetterjulie but some other nice people are @adhdeanasl @SRDas @the_etrain @Wallflower @vlrny @APBBlue @JustFrank @Alice @aliceamour @catsalad
also following hashtags is the best way to find people who post on subjects

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.Recommend people to me!
@ombialik follow frequently.
At first, don’t try to figure out whether they are quality or not, just follow.
Then Unfollow. If needed. -

@Susan60@aus.social @ombialik@mastodon.world that's good, but in addition, my one simple bit of advice for confused noobs is to follow hashtags of their interests, which inevitably leads them to all sorts of relevant peeps & chats... as well as sometimes also to many serendipitous places

@ombialik When you find people you enjoy following, check out who they are following.
And give it time. You’ll get there.

@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.
