Listen up, newbies 📣
You all want to know how to find interesting people to follow on Mastodon -- and I'm going to tell you how 😃
Go to your instance's profiles directory. This is located on the lower left corner of your screen.
Or visit: https://<nameofinstance.com>/directory
There you can sort profiles by:
* Recently active
* New arrivals only
* From your instance only
* From known Fediverse
See screenshots.
This isn't the only way to find new people to follow. However, it's one very good way that's convenient from Mastodon.
It will also help you find other people on your instance.
The reason I encourage everyone to visit their instance's profile directory is because *this* is your core community on Mastodon.
It's who populates your instance's local feed.
And it's who you'll primarily interact with before you follow folks from the broader Fediverse.
