@sim431@sfba.social @zkat@toot.cat * local/federated timelines, where you just look at a lot of posts from everyone and hope something catches your eye * people you follow boost stuff onto your home dash, and you may decide to follow the person they boosted * looking through a person's page and checking out who they've boosted or replied to (replies are the next tab over from just posts) * getting linked from off-site; this is technically how I found @Chippersmol@mastodon.lol (I'm in a Discord with them and they liked their Mastodon)

@sim431@sfba.social @zkat@toot.cat @dzamie@yiff.life A great way to find what interests you is searching on related #hashtags. If you’re using the Mastodon desktop site you can even create pinned columns with the tags that matter most to you. Good hashtags to search on are “introduction” and “introductions” (I’m not sure which is in vogue right now). People use those tags to announce themselves and give a little bit of background. Good luck and have fun!
