So you're just getting started in Mastodon huh?
Here's a neat thing. On the web interface you can search for a Hashtag.
Same as you can on Twitter.
Something like #Ukraine, for example
But on the search results, see that little user icon on the right? Click it and you'll follow it as if it's a user!
New posts with that tag will arrive in your home page, even if you don't follow the author yet
@Pwnallthethings My #1 beef with the Pachyderm site is that you can make lists of people you follow, and their posts will be automatically sent there, but
they also will be sent to your Home timeline
Maybe there already is an official Masto way to avoid this? I know two workarounds
-- append .rss to the URL of the person you want to follow and use a feed reader
- on your browser, bookmark something like
<MyInstance>/@MyHero@HisInstance
