Welcome! If you like nice photos, I recommend following just about anybody who I boost. Are there any particular kind of accounts/subjects you're interested in?

@xupamayne highly recommend expanding your about me section of your profile -- see mine and others for ideas. You can be quite verbose and its the first thing people see about you when you add them for example.
I also recommend searching any hash tags you love and looking for interesting people. Note that you can *follow* hash tags just like you follow people, and those subjects will show up in your feed.

@xupamayne I hear this is a good instance. How did you choose it?
Show threadXupamayneMar 9
@kshernandez I had looked at a blog post which listed a few smaller instances
this was one of them
I checked out a few of them, (maybe ten?), and I liked this one and applied for a membership on the home page
I really like it so far, but I am just getting the hang of mastodon!

@xupamayne Nice! I've seen it a few times. I'm still getting the hang of Mastodon too. :) Even though I've been on here for a few years. lol

If you like movies you might want to join us for #monsterdon on sunday nights. It's a fun live watch party of often bad 80s sci fi movies.

Anyway welcome to the fedi!

(if you follow me there will be ants)

There's also an organic way to populate your home feed. First follow a hashtag. That already puts some content to your home feed.

Then participate in conversations. If somebody has something interesting to say, take a look at their posts and if things still look interesting, follow them.

By doing things that way, your home feed will be uniquely yours.

@xupamayne I know hashtags have been mentioned, but I did a short writeup on how to go big on hashtags and people find it useful:

@xupamayne

Follow hashtags, not people.

Show threadEdelruth, PBS Passport HolderMar 10

@xupamayne

So much advice already! Your replies are in the 20s. We Love new people.

Just came to say, you can follow those hashtags, and then people you like who use them.
Just click on the tag in your own post, and it will take you there

Sorry if this is the umpteenth iteration of this.
