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!

You can go to your server's Hot or Trending section and just start following big accounts, and from there find people in replies to various interesting posts to follow. Maybe.

You can also follow hashtags on there!

Hashtags are such a great option for following. I've found a lot of neat and interesting accounts relevant to my interests that way, alongside just the occasional great photo via following hashtags of my location as well.
