@tylerlwsmith follow hashtags for a while, see who you find

[com@mastodon.social]

@tylerlwsmith @rysiek Follow hashtags! Then you’ll see the posts about topics you like, and will find new people who post on those topics. E.G., #buildInPublic, #webDev, #programming, #devTools, #UI, #homeLab

[jubalbarca@scholar.social]

@tylerlwsmith Lots of people on the game dev instances. @MAMG and @Exilian might both be of interest on the game dev adjacent side?

Your best bet it to follow all those hashtags. That will populate your home feed with topics you're interested in.

@tylerlwsmith sounds like you have plenty of suggestions...given your list, you have definitely come to the right place!

[silvermoon82@wandering.shop]

@tylerlwsmith
A few good ones:
* @sundogplanets is an astronomer who talks about space junk (and space junk that has become Saskatchewan junk)
* @mos_8502 posts about electronics and stuff, and is making a neo-retro game console
* @futurebird posts about ants with such joy and enthusiasm that you find yourself excited about ants too
* @sinituulia posts about cats and clothes and sewing and silliness
* @eclectech makes cute and silly pictures
* @moonrabbit makes raku ceramic spirits and friends
