This is probably a stupid question, but for those of you that use Mastodon — how did you find people to follow?

I tried it out a few months ago but I didn’t like the few accounts they recommended, and searching for users or keywords didn’t get me too far either…

You need to follow hashtags but primary groups. You will find groups boosting toots about your topics. It's the first accounts to follow then you will find others.

It's not that hard. People have to keep in mind, it's not Twitter and so it works differently.

boosting toots

I don't think they call it TOOTS anymore.

I'm a grandpa of mastodon.

Toots despite the proximity with tweet is good for the community aspect.
