New to mastodon, never used Twitter, refuse to use Xitter. Any tips and who and what to follow? And who and what do you follow?

Edit: thank you all for your responses! I’ll definitely check out the accounts you suggested! Looking through hashtags I like and popular ones sounds like a great addition!

If you like games, try looking at the users of GameDev Place

If you like visual art, Mastodon.Art can be a good place to start.

If you are from Europe, there are a few official accounts at https://social.network.europa.eu/directory

If you like memes, I strongly recommend @[email protected] and @[email protected]

If you need to get news, Flipboard is in the process of federating its content, you can see a few users that are already able to be followed in this post: https://flipboard.social/@Flipboard/111926711889817950

Hope this helps.

Wouldn’t recommend mastodon.art imo

Heard the admins on there are very ban-ready on there and basically defederate anyone they consider “bad” despite not actually being problematic themselves.

Yeah, I’m an artist on mastodon.art. Not a huge fan their heavy moderation and the drama it creates. I’d love to switch instances, but hate that previous posts don’t travel with you.
