New to mastodon, never used Twitter, refuse to use Xitter. Any tips and who and what to follow? And who and what do you follow?

Edit: thank you all for your responses! I’ll definitely check out the accounts you suggested! Looking through hashtags I like and popular ones sounds like a great addition!

    How big is your instance ?

    On a medium sized instance, The local feed might be a good start-up to find “popular users and hashtags” (Actually, I don’t do it on Lemmy, but may-be I should)

    What stuff do you find interesting ? You can follow writer like Greg Egan or Neil Gaiman, you can fallow European agencies like the one in charge of data protection, and then tons of bloggers, streamers, and other users.

    Start by finding some hashtags you like and following those. It’s a good way to fill your feed and find interesting people to follow.
