How do you find good people to follow? There aren’t all too many meme or comedy accounts and that really all I’m looking for. It seems pretty serious on there unless I’m just being dumb. I’m on mastadon.social

I’m also seeing a bunch of posts not in English, sometimes nearly half so that gets annoying

It requires a bit of work, since there isn’t an algorithm to do that for you.

I’ve been following hashtags for things I enjoy. #gaming, #videogames, #steamdeck, #android, etc.

You should try changing instance. I started on mastodon.social and had the same problem as you. Find an instance that meets your interests and sign in. Then you can transfer your followers (only your followers, that’s not really good 🫤)

I can look around, thanks for the advice. Luckily I don’t post or anything so I don’t care about transferring accounts. Haven’t used it all too much

You need to follow hashtags and groups related to your interest. Groups will boost the toots and make them visible. When you follow a group, it’s like following hundreds of people at once.

When tooting, you have to mention groups and not only hashtags. The groups will boost the toot for visibility.

It’s a vit of practice with groups and hashtags.
