Good advice! On Mastodon you can follow hashtags which is a great feature!

Fedi.Tips is a great source for general info:

@kodamux Yep, you're killing it so far! I suggest writing a post about one of your interests and putting in a bunch of related hashtags at the bottom. Animal pictures, plant pictures, and moss pictures all seem to do well, too. I highly recommend #Mosstodon for a refreshing place to rest your eyes and mind.

@kodamux @lydiafacts Additionally, using the advanced web version (vs and app) you can put one or more hashtags into a column so you can see the content without them appearing in your home feed.

Getting familiar with hashtags and learning how to set up mute and CW filters is my other piece of advice. You have a lot of power to curate your feed the way you want it to be.

Mastodon has a neat timed mute feature to silence someone who's being annoying for a few hours or days.

I used this on a journalist during a close election, and on someone who was getting into a really heated argument in my feed.

Being able to follow hashtags is a good way to start to find people.

@kodamux @Darkphoenix Welcome. What the previous comments said. And follow a bunch of people. That’s key.

@kodamux Favorite things you like, boost things you think people would like to see, follow anyone who seems interesting, unfollow when you’re wrong.

@kodamux just have fun

@kodamux Mostly just hang here and vibe/chill. No need to do anything specific. One account that I think could be helpful is @FediTips but over time just learn a little bit each day/week/month on how it's all set up.
