Also recommend checking out the accounts in https://about.fedigroups.social/directory

Those are accounts that will boost any post they are tagged in so they work similarly to hashtags except they will push posts to your instance.

When you follow a hashtag, the post will only show up in your feed if it makes it to your instance (so if it was posted or boosted by someone who has a follower on your instance), when you follow a fedigroup it will guarantee that posts make it to your instance.

@rocktheglobe that's right. Exactly. That's what I meant. Old habits and all.

@holger @pj

Yes, there are lots of ways to discover things on here! I've tried to do a full list at https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-find-accounts-to-follow-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-how-do-i-find-my-friends

There's also a list of ways to make your own account more discoverable at https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-get-more-followers-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse/

@MomJeans @pj I like this. I think I will make this. I also want to make Elvis' Fool's Gold which is french bread hollowed out, then filled with fried banannas, bacon and peanut butter. After I put in the wall mounted AED I just need to run into....

@MomJeans

How have I been a vegetarian for so long and yet never had this sandwich before !?

@holger @pj you follow like crazy people/hashtags (then those people repost stuff, which you follow like crazy)
Then after a week, you start culling the accounts you followed when you find they’re not a good fit.

@pj pleasantly surprised to see this project kick off, I hope it will also inspire some other podcasters to move here.
