@lonelyboy1977 In fact, you could safely follow the last double hanful of people @catsalad boosted. @hacks4pancakes and @NanoRaptor at the bare minimum.

@lackattack Yeah, Ekitike is the only summer transfer I have zero complaints about. He has easily surpassed my expectations this season.
@lonelyboy1977 I love watching him and I love that he didn’t roll over to isak! We made an offer on Ekitike too, but he was already intent on moving to Liverpool. Definitely the better choice for him but would have been great to have him

@lackattack Knowing that we prevented Newcastle from signing him almost makes up for being lumbered with Isak as well.

@lonelyboy1977 I also post in those categories which is why I jumped on @robyn's coat tails here.
The big thing though is make your timeline look less like you use your account only for promoting your own stuff. It turns people off and they don't dive deeper and see if you're engaging with people using replies.
@naturepunk Thanks for the tip. Hopefully, the more people I can find who post about topics of interest to me, the more it will increase my opportunities for engaging with other users.

@naturepunk @lonelyboy1977 @robyn That's true, although an account that does self-promotion while acknowledging replies and generally acting like there is an interested human behind it is still going to be much better received than an account that does self-promotion and doesn't engage at all.
(possibly getting a bit off track from the original point)

What can I recommend is to search people and check their contacts. Whoever at least slightly fits your interests, follow him. Get at least 50 of them for start.
It takes a time to create a bubble here, but it definitely is worth the time.
Also - you can follow video creators as well!
I'll help you out a little:

Yes, the #fediverse is designed to enable comfortable little echo chambers. But that does not make me a better #writer. It may make me a better #NicheWriter, as I am competing in a smaller pool for a more-jaded set of eyeballs.
OTOH, trying to build feeds which are #trans -cultural, -community, -political, etc. … that's hard. That's hard even to **find**, because we are so insular, stuck in our path(s).
It eats writing time.
