Hi I am new to Mastodon, I don't really know what I am doing here yet. Does anyone know of any cool nonprofits or gamedev people to follow? Currently my feed is just the internet archive. I love that, but it might not lead to a very satisfying experience.

@withinity if you want a feed of usually mundane, sometimes bizarre, but always unsafe consumer products, the @uscpsc feed is also occasionally leavened with shitposting

@VANTABlack2000 @withinity welcome to Mastodon! It can take some time to find your feet here, but once you've found your "neighbors" there's nothing quite like it elsewhere on the social web. As another reply mentioned, tags are an essential method of finding topics you're interested in here. Definitely a good idea to find some you're interested in (though most game stuff I see doesn't really use them
)I can confirm that @Alblune and @LukaTheMouse are great follows!
Also think these folks are awesome:
@glassbottommeg

@withinity on most mastodon clients, you can follow hashtags on particular topics like #decolonization #environment #technology #politics #science #history or your local city, which can be helpful for discovering interesting individuals not just org and brands.

@withinity can't tell you much about gamedev or recommend people to follow on that specific topic, but check out @FediTips

@withinity My recommendation would be to check out hashtags of things you are interested in, and then follow the people who are posting interesting stuff.

@withinity I'd suggest Ron Gilbert of Monkey Island fame @grumpygamer and Andrew Plotkin of text adventures fame @zarfeblong

Use hashtags, they will come.
The trick of Mastodon is its artisanal, hand crafted, no algorithm to steer your posts.
Hashtags and follows and boosts are the rocket sleds of engagement.

@withinity Welcome
Some people I'd suggest at random, trying to avoid people you've already had recommended: @psychicparrot42 @sinbad @pixelkabinett @memoriesin8bit @crussel @draknek @namelessvoice @abban @DevteamLife @runevision @kenney @Nestach @maxim @lisyarus
If you're interested in gaming on linux at all, @gamingonlinux

@withinity I also make games
Using GodotEngine since 2017 
I try to only use FLOSS
@timkrief Nice! Added you
-
@withinity @dekirisu shares some fun-looking game dev progress here sometimes. (I believe all with Rust + Bevy)
@tschundler Bevvy is pretty awesome! I do have a hard time giving everything over to ECS but I will follow them. Maybe they will convince me to try it again

@withinity Gamedev people, you say?
@grumpygamer came to my mind at least.
-
@withinity just use a hashtag and then names of subjects you like, in the search.
@timo21 Thanks Timo, I'm figuring it out now that people have kind of helped me

@withinity remember you can follow hashtags too. Like #gamedev for instance

@withinity
@HadroSoft
@ClarusPlusPlusShe is developing a side scrolling game loosely based on Zelda 2. The demo for Enigma Hearts is out, and I've heard great things. Can't wait until I can find the time to play it. That's a good place to begin, I'd say.
@meadow Looks awesome thank you!

@ravensrod ewwww

@Downes Thanks Downes!
