When first starting out, it can be more useful to follow hashtags and groups than people.

I don't know your interests, but here are some popular photography-related tags:

#Fensterfreitag (pics of windows)
#Fotomontag (just a Monday tag for pics)
#caturday
#throwbackthursday (any oldish photo)
#Silentsunday (peaceful sunday shots)
#MeerMittwoch (seas/oceans on Wednesday)
#fotovorschlag (daily photo prompt)

You can also

follow @TrendyBot to see what's trending.

"Groups" are a bit of a misnomer. They're more like hashtags that are moderated for content, spam, etc. Just copy and paste the handle in Mastodon and follow it like a user: https://about.fedigroups.social/directory

I also recommend following @FediTips for helpful fediverse tips. @cbattlegear
