This account was created in 2024 and I only started using it now because I was bored with mainstream social media. Is there anyone I can make friends with here? Oh, by the way, I'm a bass player and I'm from Indonesia.

I would suggest following @dgar . I would also suggest following a few of the music hashtags like #music . Unlike other services your timeline is not curated, instead it is the people and concepts you choose to follow, as well as the occasional reply to people and concepts you follow.

Anyway, dgar is a musician with a fun bunch of musical followers.

Another one I recommend is @WrenArcher . She is not a musician as far as I know, but she has turned me on to some other musicians

Thanks for the shoutout James.
I am an amateur musician, singer/songwriter but don't post much about it.

@MamaLake is someone on my instance who comes to mind. I know she has another account but not sure if she's still active there. If I remember right she is a musician and artist, an American but now lives in Thailand with her partner. Is that right, Jenica?

And here's another tip for you about Mastodon, Vian. In the search tab look for hashtags of subjects that interest you and follow those. Your home feed will fill up nicely. Then, as you see interesting toots, interact and follow cool people you come across.
Jope this helps.

@WrenArcher @nikatjef @vianxonata @dgar hi vian, welcome back! And thanks for the shout out Wren. Everything you said is true. I have three active accounts including this one, @MamaLake and @Mamalake just cause I like talking about different things on different channels. I would recommend following #ThursdayFiveList and #FridayNightJukebox for some music fun.
