If you’re a Star Trek fan, @JeriLRyan and @georgetakei is there.

If you’re a dev, maybe @JenMsft or @codinghorror or @SwiftOnSecurity or @shanselman ? @jonskeet is also there but not very active.

If you’re a retro gamer, @grumpygamer is pretty active.

Literature fan? Im a fan of @MicroSFF . And @neilhimself do sometimes reply there.

BurnedDonutHole,

Thank you.

Kind of completely depends on what topics you find “interesting”. I never quite got the point of following people, myself, it’s why I wasn’t on Twitter. But thankfully on Mastodon you can follow topics via hashtags instead and just dip into the interesting convos without having to deal with whatever other nonsense people talk about on a daily basis cluttering up your feed.

Interestingly that’s also how Twitter used to work, but I understand it’s quite different nowadays so people struggle a bit with changing back to topic-focused.

Royalish,

Would you mind sharing how to follow hashtags? Couldn’t figure it out n the mobile app.

On mobile I use the Tusky app and there’s a follow icon in the top right when you’re viewing a hashtag feed. Imagine it depends which app you’re on though!

Yeah no, the default app doesn’t have this feature for some weird unknown reason.

DampSquid,

I can’t seem to find much of anything or anyone to follow. So Lemmy, who is funny on Mastodon/where is the comedy hiding?

Dont know about you but I find @MissingThePt funny.

johnnyjayjay,

Lists of people by topic: fedi.directoryfediverse.info/explore/people

Mass-follow people by topic: communitywiki.org/trunkOr just follow a bunch of tags

And, once you have a few people that you follow, you can use this to find more based on whom they follow: followgraph.vercel.app

Finding stuff on Mastodon is more about hashtags. Eventually, by subscribing to you’re interested in, you will discover accounts worth following. The Tusky app allows you to subscribe to hashtags like to an account. I don’t follow people anymore, I follow topics!

Not useful for finding people to follow but you now can also populate your feed with Lemmy communities. Also check out a.gup.pu !

Aurenkin,

Is this something that’s currently missing from the official app or am I just dumb?

das,

I think it is on android still? In which case I recommend megladon. It’s a fork of the official app with more features, like following hashtags.

I thought all the third party apps were really ugly, so I was happy to find out about this

Aurenkin,

Thanks for the recommendation, just installed Megalodon and it works a treat 👍
