Found a great tool to browse for accounts to follow. Take note of any member’s instance name, search for the instance name. Results show a list of accounts with popular accounts shown on top. #mastodonhints

@futurebird -- I use mostly an web browser on the dektop, but for monitoring I use @tootapp's (@ mastodon.social) "toot" app for iOS in parallel, especially because I have several accounts (e.g. https://snrk.de/snark-mastodon/)

#mastodonhints: As for web-browsers, for the three accounts which I run on zirk.us, I use three different containers for each of the accounts. Then it is easy to switch between the accounts.

Here’s another shortcut / Magic Trick for finding & expanding your followers
.. if you are coming from #thebirdsite

Not only can you use #fedifinder & #debirdify to scan & find Mastodon handles for your followers, you can also search & scan Twitter Lists !!

So you can create lists over there
or better yet Follow public lists there & find folks here w scan

For example @ninatypewriter maintains a bunch of topical & regional lists

Happy following!!

Worth noting that all users' toots can also be consumed as good ole RSS or Atom feeds. It is in the form [instance]/users/[username].rss or .atom.

For example, an RSS for my updates is at mastodon.social/users/matthewreinbold.rss
