@fearskaper oh also! Check out https://fedi.punk.guide/ and get yourself listed. I've picked up a few followers from it .....

@fearskaper fáilte! welcome!

If you're looking for interesting people to follow, I find it useful to

- search for accounts/bots you already follow on other social media sites

- follow tags you're interested in, like #punk until you find accounts that post about stuff you're interested in

Mastodon is slower than other social media, but it's also more personal and less stressful (in my experience)
