@pj thx! Genuine question, how do I discover content on here? I feel like there has to be some kind of middle ground between having to manually search for accounts and having slop shoved in my face like on regular platforms?
@holger
Follow interesting people, especially noisy interesting people who repost a lot of things.@dgoldsmith and @catsalad are very noisy and they helped me find things.

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.

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/
