@leeloo Thank you for this idea!

@Firlefanz Thank you for such a warm welcome! The writing games sound exciting! It's so much easier to create when you channel the energy toward a defined task.
I was so careful with my following, trying not to overwhelm my feed. I'll try the opposite way now.

@sabik I wasn't even aware I could browse other instances! Thank you for letting me know!

@infoseclogger Thank you! I will now.

@fae2535 Thank you so much for the link!

@AstroHyde Thank you for your advice! I'd love to find something about physics and biology. I wonder if I should search for "physicsdon" then I have a feeling I have a much better chance of discovering something interesting now.

@jaz This sounds intriguing but I'm not sure what it means

@Tim_Eagon Thank you! I will now.

@jztusk It's so good to know, really. I gaslit myself into thinking I was doing something wrong because I believed in the power of the search box

@justbob What a great tag! It'll be the first tag I follow Thank you!

@stephaniepixie Oh, what a guide! Thank you so much! It answered so many of my questions. I did notice all those things you mentioned, including the accounts that looked empty, which made me think there was no reason to follow them, and the changing profile photos.
Everything is so new and intricate here. Your reply is a real treasure!

@gptreb Thank you! This sounds really helpful and promising.

@clew Thank you! As soon as I figure out how to do this, I will

@MissGayle Thank you! I think I'll do just that from now on. I was afraid it would clutter my feed with unrelated posts, as I've noticed that sometimes tags don't really match the content. But I'm willing to give it a try

@andymoose @quietmarc
It's still helpful! First of all, new information sticks better with repetition . Plus, I treat every reply as a thread to the larger world of Mastodon where I can discover more accounts. So thank you very much for your reply!

@jaz @traecer @jztusk This is such a helpful tip! Thank you! Mastodon has these unique tags I wasn't aware of, like the ones ending in "-todon." I would have never guessed they existed if I hadn't seen them.

@traecer @jztusk Thank you!
I initially used the search box and noticed that the results barely matched my query. For example, it gave me an article about Prince Harry when I searched for "books". I was worried that following tags would just flood my feed with unrelated posts like that.

@hashraydamon Thank you so much for sharing this!

@stephaniepixie @footsteps @FediFollows What a treasure! Thank you so much for sharing the link!

@footsteps @FediFollows Oh, this is exciting! No, I've never heard about them. Thanks for letting me know!
