Who should I be following in the Fediverse?

[tylerlwsmith@hachyderm.io]

Who should I be following in the Fediverse? Twitter just makes me sad, and I need a new place to find people doing interesting things.

I'm interested in software development in any programming language, game development, web development, UI, design, and home lab stuff. I'm not interested in AI.

Drop your recommendations below!

This is a good place to find people who want to be found under certain interests: https://communitywiki.org/trunk

Once you start following people on these lists, you're more likely to be exposed to even more people that talk about your interests!

I for one post about my #homelab and #selfhosting!

Definitely check out https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@eniko. And https://infosec.exchange/@0xabad1dea *even if* (not saying that's all) just for the Odin photos and anecdotes.

Also you've been here for a while, but if you haven't already, then once you have a handful of people who post stuff you like to see also go through their timelines and check out hashtags they use, and follow appropriately.

[brunogirin@mastodon.me.uk]

@tylerlwsmith I suggest you follow:

@SaraSoueidan
@stephaniewalter
@adactio
@tink
@SheHacksPurple
@cwebber
@jensimmons
@Floppy

And a lot more awesome people I forgot about.

@tylerlwsmith follow hashtags for a while, see who you find

[com@mastodon.social]

@tylerlwsmith @rysiek Follow hashtags! Then you’ll see the posts about topics you like, and will find new people who post on those topics. E.G., #buildInPublic, #webDev, #programming, #devTools, #UI, #homeLab
