    Who should I be following in the Fediverse? Twitter just makes me sad, and I need a new place to find people doing interesting things.

    I'm interested in software development in any programming language, game development, web development, UI, design, and home lab stuff. I'm not interested in AI.

    @tylerlwsmith Very likely everyone must be telling you that your query matches, well, almost everyone here? ๐Ÿ˜‚ Best piece of advice: find some people and then check who they follow if they allow it. Also, follow some super retooters like @PixelRobot and check @FediFollows

        @tylerlwsmith @brunogirin Just checking: do you know that you can follow hashtags on Fediverse, rather than just individual accounts?

        That's how I found most individual people I follow โ€” by seeing their posts in my hashtag follow feed.

          @tylerlwsmith hi thereโ€ฆ instead of following specific people, you may want to start by following the hashtags youโ€™re interested in. For example, #Development #HomeLabEt cetera.

            @tylerlwsmith

            Take note of who's posting the stuff you find most interesting, & then follow who they're following.

            Also follow hashtags. Marvelous wide-aperture net.

                    @tylerlwsmith you can also follow hashtags on your interests to find your people.

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

                        @dmbaturin @tylerlwsmith @brunogirin What hashtags do you recommend? I'm fairly new myself and all the ones I've seen so far are low user/activity.

                        Edit: I found some, but still open to recommendations

                          @tylerlwsmith i recommend @llamasoft_ox - he's got sheep and a pony, and he does stuff with game stuff with computers but I'm there for the sheep and the pony. And the weekly trip to somewhere local for a nice curry.

                                  @tylerlwsmith follow @dgar . He's funny, makes music, and brings good vibes. And occasionally he retoots stuff from really cool other people, that do interesting stuff

                                      Following people with similar interests is cool and all.

                                      But what I like is people who have different interests and experience.

                                      The mediaeval historian who went investigating why eels where everywhere in records of the time.

                                      The info sec guy
                                      People doing niche hobbies
                                      The retro computer people

                                      @SuperMoosie @tylerlwsmith Who was chasing radio signals?

                                      Which beekeeper do you mean?

                                      "Surprised Eel Historian" (greenleejw) used to be on historians.social, but that instance no longer exists. I think they disappeared with it rather than migrate to another instance.

                                        Who should I be following in the Fediverse? Twitter just makes me sad, and I need a new place to find people doing interesting things.

                                        I'm interested in software development in any programming language, game development, web development, UI, design, and home lab stuff. I'm not interested in AI.
