<![CDATA[Hi everyone!]]>Hi everyone!

After a few years break from conventional social media, here to see if I enjoy this more.

I am a PhD student in cosmology. When not at my desk you can probably find me in the local climbing gym, cooking some vegan food, reading, playing boardgames or spending time outside doing more climbing, hiking, bike packing.

Might use this account for talking about science, hobbies or both.

Originally from Germany currently living in Denmark.

Also, I looked who interesting people were following and followed some of those accounts.

A helpful account to follow is @FediTips which offers lots of tips on how to use this platform.
- You can follow hashtags to increase the likelihood of posts with topic of interest showing up in your feed.
- You get 3 sets of feeds. Home: the accounts you follow. Trending: random popular posts from various instances. Live Feeds: Posts from accounts on the instance you belong to.
The system is a bit clunky between instances, but ask people for help -- someone will step up with advice.

And since lots of people are scattered across many different servers, it might be difficult to expand your bubble past a certain point naturally

what I've started doing is occasionally picking a server at random from https://joinmastodon.org/servers and scrolling through to find interesting accounts to follow

A good start would be to follow @FediTips

First good tip: follow people you like. Check out what they boost. Follow the accounts you like from what they boost. Repeat.
