First steps after booting up my own Mastodon instance - eviltoast

So I have set up my own Mastodon instance and it’s empty. What should I do to fill up my instance with content? And how do I do that other users of Mastodon on other instances see my “tweets” on my instance?

    You follow someone who is on mastodon.social, they see the follow, look at your profile and follow you back

    Or you reply to a thread, someone on mastodon.social sees it, thinks you sound like someone they’d find interesting and follows you.
