My suggestion if you want the Fediverse to work, follow and favorite and boost the absolute hell out of people. It’s not about dopamine or clout chasing, it’s about letting people know they’re not just typing into a void.

Follow and boost people of similar interests, and who show good will and good faith, sure.
Just make sure to avoid boosting for its own sake. I'm here, for instance, for science, pedagogy, rationalist philosophy, and education topics.
