@markapel Welcome! Using and following hashtags is very helpful here for meeting like-minded folks. You could try # Writers, # Poetry # Authors and so on. We also have many groups on specific topics such as @writers

You can pin your introduction post to your timeline, so people can get a sense of whether they'd like to follow you.

A great source of info is @FediTips
