I want to throw in a second good word for hashtags. I follow a tiny handful of people, almost entirely personal friends. But I follow a lot of hashtags. Because it typically is the content that I’m after as opposed to a particular person. If my favorite poster of weather information decides to post something about accounting, I don’t really want to see that. Also following a hashtag gets you a lot more exposure to like-minded people than you would if you were trying to follow them all individually, and you see a lot more posts about things you enjoy.
Would you say there’s a good amount of hashtags and what not for the creative type? I’m trying to find ways to network with people in my industry a little better. Cheers mate
I’m following 42 hashtags, a bunch of science, teaching, and programming stuff, mostly (I’m a CS instructor). But also things like #trains. :) And the state and city I live in.

I wish mastodon made tags as easy as Tumblr did. I hate that they clutter up the post and that there’s no autocomplete.

Yes!! I follow a ton of art and craft hashtags. My mastodon is popping, you just have to do some work.
