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.
@mkj great recommendations–thank you

-
@sysop408 @tylerlwsmith I know some of these people!

@tylerlwsmith @nyrath is mostly a space guy, but he posts about other science stuff too.
@Verain hell yeah space is rad

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.

@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

Your best bet it to follow all those hashtags. That will populate your home feed with topics you're interested in.
