Apparently there’s another influx of new folks here, so I guess I should give my best tidbit of advice:

You have to really actively seek out people to follow here, much more than you’re used to — and until you do, this place will feel •dead•. Cool stuff isn’t just going to show up. You won’t get many helpful suggestions. No tech giant marketing dept is spending millions to draw you in. It’s going to be •work•. It’s kind of a drag, tbh.

But: your people are out there!! You just have work to seek them out, one account at a time.

@inthehands I would agree, it takes time to find those with common interests or people to follow, but it grows organically. It feels so much better that way, sick of stuff being pushed at me by algorithms, I like to be able to search and find for myself.
