This isn't the only way to find new people to follow. However, it's one very good way that's convenient from Mastodon.
It will also help you find other people on your instance.

@atomicpoet Iβm trying to figure out how to visit this page from the Mastadon app. Do you know if thatβs possible or do I need to view through the site? @Ace I haven't used Mastodon's mobile app. When I use Mastodon on a mobile device, it's is through the mobile web UI -- which I've added to my phone's home screen. It works very well as a mobile app. @Ace use the 3-points button at the bottom right. (on the mobile site) @atomicpoet I see a lot of threads that βyou should pick another server than Mastodon.Social.β But I *like* this server. I can understand the argument that the Fediverse works better spread out though. Also, for those wondering how to find this on mobile device. On the mobile *web* app, look for the "..." icon on the right sidebar. Scroll to the bottom of the page. There you'll see a link to "Profiles directory". See screenshot. (NOTE: This may or may not work for dedicated mobile apps found in app stores.) @atomicpoet I realize there's a controversy going on in the #Fediverse and some instances are defederating from others. I also realize it relates to social justice issues I care about. But I know nothing about the events and hear about them only in generalities. Is it all right if most of us just stay out of it and go on with our business of adjusting to a new soc med home? I don't want to ignore you. I appreciate your posts. I was asking more in a sense of "what is my duty as a netizen?" @sandearl @atomicpoet Thatβs exactly how I feel. I care deeply about these issues, but I need a break from the all the anger and rage and angst. I found a nice place, with awesomely interesting people to talk to and I want to enjoy them. |
The reason I encourage everyone to visit their instance's profile directory is because *this* is your core community on Mastodon.
It's who populates your instance's local feed.
And it's who you'll primarily interact with before you follow folks from the broader Fediverse.
