PauliJlloI have closed Twitter and deleted the app from my phone. Now I need recommendations on who to follow here. I am interested in #climate, #energy, #airquality, #sustainabledevelopment
rubbel@PauliJllo You could start by following those hashtags if you haven't done so already.
kratoz29@rubbel @PauliJllo this is the best, does #Twitter even has this? I can have my feed populated with what I feel is relevant to me.
Paul Barnfather@rubbel @PauliJllo you can “follow” hashtags?? Whoa, I did not know this!! 🤯

Hello @PauliJllo,
I recommend that you follow these hashtags, you will see the people who post on these hashtags, then follow them

@pinage404 @PauliJllo
Also, post your own content with those hashtags. There's a lot of interaction here and people frequently. #FollowBack

GrantYou don't have to follow people on here. Searching hashtags is a good way to find things you're interested in and if you come across people who you want to follow, fine.
SuperMoosieEven better, on here you can follow hashtags.
From there you can work out who to follow.
moved servers ➡ @smitten@key.portend.place@gsymon @PauliJllo
this greatly depends on the size of your server. on smaller servers, following individual users is necessary

john r red-horseI don't mean to interrupt this conversation, but I'm curious: Why do you state this? I search hashtags regularly, and I get posts from a variety of servers.
(Edited to correct bad autocorrect.)
@jrredho @PauliJllo @gsymon
It boils down to, you only get search results from your own server. But those will include posts that were generated on other servers.
when you subscribe to a hashtag, or search one out, you will see all the posts that your server knows about that are tagged with it. your server's perspective of what exists depends on a bunch of factors. one of the biggest factors is who's being followed by other people on your server. also who they are interacting with, because your server will seek out OP posts that other folks who you follow respond to, or boost.
many servers subscribe to relays to help find more of these, but those are incomplete too. so you're only ever seeing the sliver that you know about. for me, I'm on a server all by myself, so hashtags are a lot less useful to me when my server is pretty limited in what it knows about.

PepijnVemer@PauliJllo Start with following the hashtags!
Welcome

Kyle@PauliJllo Follow all those hashtags, and I would add (# )ClimateChange and (# )FollowFriday. I would also post an (# ) introduction post. That should start showing you posts of people you want to follow, follow them and the start following who they boost. The Fediverse gets really good once you get above following around ~200 accounts.
Sharon Gibson Morgan@PauliJllo Here's a good source: @ClimateChris
(He was on Rachel Maddow's show to recount how he and his wife received death threats over his reporting the weather at a broadcast station in Iowa. A meteorologist, Gloniger is now chief scientist at the Woods Hole Group in Massachusetts.)

Mark Stoneman@PauliJllo @FediFollows is really good at pointing out stuff. They do regular thematic posts. @abshlimon
Sablebadger@PauliJllo welcome! You've got a good start with the hash tags, you can also follow those to see posts.
Parsingphase@PauliJllo I find the best trick is to follow hashtags first, then interesting people appear as a result.

Paul Eastwood@jim_smoot thanks Jim!
FediTips has moved!Congrats! 👏
There are lots of different ways of discovering accounts on here, there's a complete list of methods at https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-find-accounts-to-follow-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-how-do-i-find-my-friends/

In late 1960s I worked vacation jobs as mathematician/programmer for the US Bureau of Mines (i.e., mostly coal), Pittsburgh Mining Research Center at 4800 Forbes Ave ...
now a CMU building not too far from yours, and which I understand has some folks who do public policy work, an interesting transition from a coal research place.🙂

bit_ou@PauliJllo if your Bird Account still exists, use https://fedifinder.glitch.me to find, who is already here. By @Luca@vis.

JR@PauliJllo follow @feditips @FediFollows @fediverse@lemmy.world @fediverse@lemmy.ml for ideas on who to follow and navigate. Follow people in different instances, this will expand what shows in your feed. And always….use # as first character in searches, you can follow these conversations.
fulanigirl has moved@PauliJllo I'm sure someone has already told you this but just in case....follow the hashtags you just listed. You can see who posts under them and then decide whether to follow them.
D. B. StuckWelcome! As people have mentioned, you should follow hashtags. But I'd strongly suggest that if you spot a well written post go ahead and follow that account. You can curate later. Know that there's no algorithm. Everything is done by timeline. Find something good? Then boost it & help it get discovered. Participate when you can, and #welcome.
David Adler@PauliJllo Adding the hashtag "introduction" to your post might make it easier for others to find you. Also on this page you might find interesting people by discipline and groups and servers that help to find others:

Lastly, the heavy use of hashtags is helpful, because it is one of the main tools for finding interesting things. (You may also want to subscribe to some hashtags that are interesting for you.)

Not sure if all these are their current addresses, people move around. But no harm to follow anyway.
Also click in and see who peoples friends are. Often the best way to find like minded people.

nedhamson@PauliJllo input these as search items and you will find plenty interested in those topics #climate, #energy, #airquality, #sustainabledevelopment
Xavi@PauliJllo don't know your Spanish level, but @Laia would be someone that may interest you 😊

@GreenFire @PauliJllo No worries! I thought you were following me back too!
Anne Fuller (Sʼaachtlʼéiḵ)@PauliJllo you found me and so may well have found @AlaskaWx Rick Thoman
Gavan Shanley@PauliJllo @thebeeguy is as good here as he was on Twitter 👍
Vicomte Folmer af HelvedeWelcome!
I'd recommend following the hashtag ClimateDiary
pvonhellermannn@mastodon.green
Ruth_Mottram@fediscience.org
Are interesting people to follow I think.
(I've removed the # in front of the hashtag and the @ in front of the usernames to not polute the timeline and to refrain from tagging people in the conversation, so these need to be added back)

@PauliJllo
Well, looks like your message has been boosted 148 times at the moment. That's about a hundred more times than my most boosted message. 😆
I don't think you'll have a problem finding people, I think everyone's finding you first.
And, welcome to Mastodon and the federverse.
Ety, Ringer of Bells ^G@PauliJllo Also check out the Fedi Directory from @FediFollows , maybe even this page specifically? https://fedi.directory/tag/environment-and-green-issues/
Good luck! Everything else I'd say has already been said by others here :)
Scavello@PauliJllo I quite like @susankayequinn she has some interesting hopepunk and solarpunk fiction books that are quickly moving up my to read list.
