@tylerlwsmith

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

[tylerlwsmith@hachyderm.io]

@MissGayle oh shoot, I didn't realize following hash tags was a thing, but now I'm seeing it on my sidebar. Great tip!

@tylerlwsmith i spend an embarassing amount of time on home assistant, and mocking computer security!

[alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com]

@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

[edolnx@kind.social]

@tylerlwsmith Welcome! I would suggest following some hashtags around your favorite languages, game tooling, and we dev tools and you'll pick up interesting folks to engage with and follow pretty quickly

Here is a resource. Not the easiest thing to use, but lots of accounts to follow including plenty of infosec folks.

Mastodon

[allpoints@mstdn.social]

@tylerlwsmith don't forget you can follow hashtags too

[waysideollie@mastodon.sdf.org]

@tylerlwsmith you can follow hashtags and find people through their posts.

[julian@fietkau.social]

@tylerlwsmith Hi Tyler! ️ I don't usually do this when someone asks who's worth following, but your list of topics makes me want to self-nominate. Lately my posts have been about half/half between fediverse development and human-computer interaction, where I do academic work. But I've previously posted about everything you've listed.

[jasperb@mastodon.social]

@tylerlwsmith hi there, I’d recommend to follow hashtags and particular bots. Its nice that you can make your individual timeline on Mastodon. Following hashtags also helps with finding likeminded people, that share your interests. Have fun!
