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 You can also scroll the profile directory for your home server here: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/directory
If you want some analog games, try https://dice.camp/directory
There are a few nonprofits hereabouts, many of them tech-oriented, like @eff or digital culture, like @gutenberg_org

Welcome to Fedi. I only have a small list of follows but @sci_burst do science + culture, including games. @alice is an all-round Fedi star and can be a gateway to lots of others.
@pluralistic is on here and is excellent on all things tech.
Hi @withinity! #Welcome to the community!

@withinity your list of accounts you follow will grow steadily and organically. Give it some time. All will be well.

@VCP good because I have thousands!!!
@withinity @VCP Then you will want to know about the Caturday hashtag (for Saturdays) and the CaturdayEveryday hashtag (for the rest of the week) and the WhiskersWednesday hashtag (for Wendesdays)!

@jrconlin Thank you for the advice. I like the idea of mass adding people then slowly removing if I want to later. Should get some good content. Everyone here has been super helpful, I really appreciate it
Came here to basically say the same thing. Follow for any reason, unfollow for same. You've already discovered following hash tags.
Just tend the garden. Read what you like. Follow folks who day interesting things. If you see an account sending stuff that doesn't spark joy, unfollow.
Your feed will grow over time to shape to your tastes, but without agenda.
Is very much unlike most of the socials out there.
Welcome!

@withinity I mean, I'm pretty cool...

It's a nice part of the country. I've liked most parts of the country I've lived in-PNW, NoCal, SoCal, South.
It's a good place to live in mid-life.
We finally found a half-decent restaurant yesterday. That's the worst about this area, no places to eat out that beat what you can make at home.
@MCDuncanLab I know what you mean. That said, there was this italian place a little out of the way that was really good called Paesano's. It was a pricey but always high quality. Palm palace was good for cheapy bulk mediterranian.
The wood fired pizza place by the park was pretty good for pizza. I miss that park, good way to escape the barfy undergrads.
Now I'm over in Massachusetts. It's great, but really expensive to exist.

@withinity Be welcome!
@NullTheFool Thanks Null!

@withinity welcome! I recommended following @auschwitzmuseum, for a bit of grounding each day.
@jdlh Following them. Its important to remember these things. Thank you for the suggestion

@JeroenBaten Good advice. I am kind of swarmed with suggestions now. Its great to feel welcomed but I think you are right, over time I will find more people naturally

@Robotistry Perfect! I will have to get some cat pictures at the ready on this computer!

@withinity I follow a few gamedev and art people.
I am on mobile, so I can't add links atm, but if you like anti-ai and fantasy comics I would look at David Revoy
Alblune Studios and one of their devs Luca made and is updating a fun rat picross/house maker called Squeakross: Home Squeak Home
Georgina Bensly (I may have the spelling wrong sorry) if you want to hear about a steam curator trying to find yuri games.
Vintage Story is a fun game to look into that has a Mastodon account too.
@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
@eniko
@aeva
@lisyarus
@typeswitch
@unormal
@Gord
@Alrecenk
@silverspookgames
@zarfeblong
@djlink
@maddy
@zeux
@zep
@Doomed_Daniel
@icculus
@alienmelon
@rygorous
@cmddx
@demofox
@radiatoryang
@inform7tips(I'm sure I am leaving people out, though!)
