@adeelahmed welcome! Hope you’ll find colleagues

@adeelahmed

Welcome!

https://fedi.tips has already been mentioned, and I'd like to specify that you find a QUICK START on the landing page, with bullets 3-6 most relevant to find people and to be found by people.

Following hashtags is IMHO the best way to fill your timeline, but your preferences may vary.

Have fun!

@adeelahmed I'm a 'retired' IT person with a degree in computer science and physics and I became a C.Eng., if you think that counts. I'm not sure I do. I mainly mock fascists now.

@adeelahmed I'm not a scientist but I hope you have a lovely day! ️

[ruth_mottram@fediscience.org]

@fluffgar @adeelahmed @sundogplanets many of us are on fediscience.org

@adeelahmed Welcome to chaos incarnate Physicist from Germany here. Hope you will have a good time

My (and almost everyone's) tip for beginners: Follow accounts that look interesting. We don't have an algorithm and you have to find interesting accounts manually
