@slimekat Hey, I'm finally trying to actually set up & use mastodon 😬. Have any recommendations for who to follow?

I also grabbed an account @nika recently. Not sure if I should move over to that.

@slimekat @Gargron Do you have lists of people to follow or something like that?

@Gargron @slimekat @Curator Thanks - I'll try to dig through your follows but that's a long list ^.^.

@nika i know you didn't ask me so sorry for butting in if it's unwanted but on friday lots of people will be posting their recommendations on the follow friday tag

actually i guess if you look at #ff and #followfriday you can see last week's

its more meaningful coming from people you already follow but if you're up for browsing its not a bad way to go!

garg and i follow too many people probably for it to be particularly useful readin through our follows

@bea Oh! That's really awesome. There's a few too many options in #followfriday right now for me to go through them, but I'll keep an eye on it this Friday for sure :-).

(Also, don't worry about butting in, I appreciate the suggestions)

@nika no problem! anything i can do to help just lemme know. you lookin for anything in particular?

@bea I think I'm looking for a trans/tech community of people to hang out with. Sorta still figuring out what I want my masto to be so 🤷.

@nika ok! well you're in the right place for trans/tech! that's for sure

i follow a LOT of nerdy trans women on here so maybe my follows WOULD be a thing to look at

heck there's a lot just on this instance, like maybe half, more than half of who's in the local timeline

a fair number of masto instance admins are trans, there's trans game devs, trans EEs, trans security folks...

anything more specific? hehe

@bea That is pretty much why I'm here ^.^. Uhm, systems programming/compilers/Linux folks perhaps? Iunno. I have many interests :-P

Follow

@nika @bea I’m a systems person but you might want to follow my @Pusscat which is more tech focused
