@oxter you have to be your own algorithm to find things of interest. Possibly the easiest way is to follow a hashtag and then look at the profiles of people who are posting it to in order to find people to follow. Once you’ve got enough of them then the posts they boost should give you more leads for other folks to follow.
Some hashtags are niche and some are fire hoses put hopefully you’ll find conversions of interest.
@Hanhula @tymon @PsychoticBananaSplit on Kbin you would search for @asklemmy and subscribe that way.
