New to mastodon, never used Twitter, refuse to use Xitter. Any tips and who and what to follow? And who and what do you follow?

Edit: thank you all for your responses! I’ll definitely check out the accounts you suggested! Looking through hashtags I like and popular ones sounds like a great addition!

Start by finding some hashtags you like and following those. It's a good way to fill your feed and find interesting people to follow.

Agreed, good one. Here (for the OP) is how to : https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-follow-hashtags-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse/ And you can scroll daily through the Explore time line to see whether you like the posts of some. For example, I do like some of the things Aral Balkan has to say https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/112076351578347528
