@lonelyboy1977 As I mostly post in #Czech I cannot recommend following me.
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:
@thelinuxexperiment_channel @elena @FediVideo @archives @sesivany @gamingonlinux @rhipratchett@schmaker Thanks for taking time out of your day to reply. I will check out the suggestions you gave.

@lonelyboy1977 if you like retro, follow @ltning
@semanticfire Thank you for the suggestion.

Pups, surrounded by pups…
There are oldbies, and newbies, and preteens on #fedi. They are invisible to you.
You are invisible to them.
Unless you choose to look.

Attention, #Fediverse. My Mastodon experience is like being alone in a graveyard, so I need help to improve the quality of my home feed, and increase engagement with other users.
If you regularly post about #AudioDramas, #Books, #Cinema, #CreativeWriting, #Cricket

Tip: always click on your own #hashtags. You will either find new friends, or be lonelier than ever

a corollary tip: another good reason to click your own #hashtags is to confirm the popular definition matches your own.

Then anytime someone uses that hashtag, it would show up in your home feed. You can then follow specific users if you want to see their other posts.

Hi! #Fantasy , #ScienceFiction and #Linux here. You might want to follow some of the hashtags you mention too: great way to find people. -
@lonelyboy1977
Start follow more People. For example the ones that post under these Hashtags. Dont follow verry large accounts, this here works over human-to-human interaction. Follow small accounts. Have fun! -

I am a very irregular poster / tooter but many of my posts or boosts will be Fantasy, SciFi, Publishing, Reading related - especially Terry Pratchett and Discworld. Hope the building of your timeline goes well. I echo the advice on hashtag following - I see a lot of nice content from people I don't follow due to a plethora of broad and niche hashtags I follow.

What I found quite early on was that following a number of hashtags will fill up your feed quite quickly. Keep an eye out for boosted posts that are not normally seen on your server and follow those accounts.

@teledyn @lonelyboy1977 You can 'follow' those hashtags to supplement your feed, as well as add them to your profile to make it easier for other users to find you.
Part of the allure of this platform is not being 'force fed' content by algorithms and paid advertising. This is at the cost of curation through adding follows, etc.
