How do I use Mastodon? - eviltoast

I have created an account, and I would like to (try to) use mastodon. But I don’t know who/what to follow? How does one discover interesting hashtags, or people to follow ? Mainstream personalities or media are not on mastodon

    Simple answer, you have to build your community. Start by searching #hashtags for topics that interest you. Hashtags are king on Mastodon. They can lead you to interesting people to follow. Next, start looking at your local and federated feeds to see who is discussing what, and follow those that interest you. Also, use #hashtags in your responses to make your stuff findable.

    Hope this helps.
