john_fishermanHow I use Mastodon in 2025 - fredrocha.net
Any good things to follow on Mastodon? I’ve tried using it, but between BlueSky and Lemmy, it doesn’t seem to have as many users. No biggie, just asking. Cheers!
Beej JorgensenI want to throw in a second good word for hashtags. I follow a tiny handful of people, almost entirely personal friends. But I follow a lot of hashtags. Because it typically is the content that I’m after as opposed to a particular person. If my favorite poster of weather information decides to post something about accounting, I don’t really want to see that. Also following a hashtag gets you a lot more exposure to like-minded people than you would if you were trying to follow them all individually, and you see a lot more posts about things you enjoy.
Would you say there’s a good amount of hashtags and what not for the creative type? I’m trying to find ways to network with people in my industry a little better. Cheers mate
I’m following 42 hashtags, a bunch of science, teaching, and programming stuff, mostly (I’m a CS instructor). But also things like #trains. :) And the state and city I live in.
Yes!! I follow a ton of art and craft hashtags. My mastodon is popping, you just have to do some work.
