Some very interesting reflection. The #fediverse is massive, any Mastodon instance is a small part of it. I am sure you will find members of your tribe. You can also follow twitter accounts and draw them here using https://beta.birdsite.live
You can build your personalised space in the fediverse. A bit like playing with #lego blocks if you know what I mean.

1. Go to joinmastodon.com and look for servers with topics that interest you, or that have a lot of users. Go to those servers home pages and then follow the admin. That admin will likely boost interesting posts on that server, and as you follow people, your social graph will naturally expand into that server.
2. Go to search.twitter.com and run a search for "Mastodon." You'll find lots and lots of people posting links to their Mastodon profile. Follow anyone that interests you.

3. Follow absolutely anyone who gets boosted into your timeline because they said something that interests you.
4. Go check the bio and profile of people you follow. Follow the author on any interested boost. Click the hashtags in their bio. Follow interesting people there as well.
That's all I've done, and I've found almost 2,000 interesting people since April.
BUT, you can do something I couldn't...

Ok, #TwitterMigration folks, I see a lot of people asking, "How do I find people on other servers on #Mastodon or the #fediverse.
Well, here's my #Feditip of how I went from 1 person alone on robot.rodeo to having almost 2,000 interesting people to follow in about 8 months...

@kkstuppy
Yes, understandable. If you want to stay up with your favourite twitter accounts (called birdsite), you want to use the following
https://beta.birdsite.live/
That way, you can read your favourite twitter account posts here. 🙂
@AmberWavesofFlame
Another point might be to download a copy of your existing data and not share much on twitter. You can always share via Mastodon. You never know when they will charge you for twitter severance and data download.

#Mastodon rules: you fav to remind yourself. You boost to share with others. It’s not like/retweet on Twitter. HTH.
@kkstuppy
Kristen, if you pan out to the larger #fediverse , of which this is a part, you will find they are all over and in many 'instances'. You can read and interact with all of them, right from here (I e., You won't have to change instance). In order to find other instances see

My first toot.
I'm eligible to apply for a diversity supplement for my NIH grant (https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-21-071.html). If you fall into an underrepresented group, are interested in building computational/ML methods for genomics, and are looking for a postdoc next year, get in touch! (note: in computing, women are underrepresented!) Please boost
@peterdrake @Daboussi
Top tip advice from Peter.
Also, you can follow anyone from everywhere in the #fediverse. So, if you find one instance (like this one lonely for you), you can draw in content from everywhere and build a personalised experience of what you want to read and whom you want to follow. Check out this site named fediverse.party (https://fediverse.party) to explore, 🙂
Enjoy and look forward to hear more from you.

Hello #migration from the bird. I am interested in all things #medicine, #academics, #alt-academics, #analytics, and #outdoors. Share your #nature #hikingadventures #hikesandhiking #hike #camping #sailing #hunting
@bwbeach
Welcome and hello Brian. An advantage of qoto over other #mastodon instances is it allows you more than 500 characters to express yourself.
You can also follow anyone everywhere in the #fediverse in this one account. The range is mind bogglingly massive and amazing. With respect to richness and variety of content in #fediverse, twitter (referred to as birdsite) stands nowhere in comparison. Think of twitter as just one other node equivalent.
So from the comfort of your single qoto instance, you can subscribe streaming videos, link sharing sites, discussions, besides twitter like flow of comments, notes and links. Besides, you can pull in your favourite tweets as well and share content everywhere.

Greetings. Curiosity led me here, however I’d already been seeking another digital multiverse given tyranny manifest elsewhere. May this space prove that the Y chromosome paired with money won’t spill venom into every corner of the ecosySTEM. Extra credit awaits someone observant. #medicine #biology #environment #research #humor #botany #toxicology #chemistry #materials #climate #ecosystems #infectiousdisease #mycology #science #neuroscience
