@loobkoob Follow the #FollowFriday and also @FediFollows or here are a number of directories you can use to find people in the Fedi. the first is Trunk, at https://communitywiki.org/trunk/ The second is the Fedi directory, which I like because it’s got specialized topics and the people in this directory appear to be more active than other people in other directories. you can find it at https://fedi.directory/ and the third is another generalized directory, but it’s more about topics and it uses hashtags so I think it’s easier to find people by topics. This directory is at https://fediverse.info/explore/people and lastly, I would use hashtags as directories. subscribe to a hashtag you like and that can help you find people too!
I’ve always found it a bit of a struggle to build a new feed from scratch. Once I’ve got a decent foundation, it’s easy enough to see who my follows are interacting with and follow them, see what topics get brought up that I may not have thought about and follow them, etc.
Twitter wasn’t too bad when I started with it because all my friends were on it and all my favourite musicians, game designers, directors, etc, were on it. It was easy to build up a starting network fairly quickly. But with Mastodon, none of my friends really care for microblogging any more, and a lot of the artists and individuals I’m interested in haven’t switched to it yet, so getting that initial foundation going has been a struggle for me. I guess subscribing to hashtags is the solution to that problem!
It looks like the combination of the directories you linked should be really useful, thank you again!
