I’d like to use Mastodon a little more and I want to find some new accounts to follow. I also thought this would be a fun way for all of us to engage about the platform! What are your favorite accounts that you follow?
I love Technology Connections as a YT channel, and I enjoy their posts on Mastodon under their account @TechConnectify@mas.to, though most are simply advertising new videos for their YT channel.
Possible to follow via the bsky bridge:
What, no coach Gowron? That’s unforgivable.
I’ve just realized that the coach hasn’t posted since March, and now I’m sad.
Also @auschwitzmuseum@mastodon.world
I follow George Takei and Cory Doctorrow, too.
There is now! Followed!
@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu
Only one I follow that is not specialized. It’s less gloom and doom then other news :)
Love that, we need more uplifting news every once in a while. Followed!
George Takei (of Star Trek fame) - @georgetakei@universeodon.com
Cory Doctorow (speculative fiction writer) - @doctorow@mamot.fr
Mark Ruffalo (actor) - @MarkRuffalo@mastodon.social
Following now, thank you! Any particular reason for following them?
Mostly just that I value their opinions on current events, and I admire their work. :)
@workingclasshistory@mastodon.social
@_elena@mastodon.social
@Daojoan@mastodon.socialAre a few that I like
Following now, thank you! Any particular reason for following them?
I probably should have said that haha
Elena is a journalist who is big in the Fediverse. She just put out a video about it. You should be able to find it on her posts.
Westenberg is another writer who moved to the fediverse

Following now, thank you! Any particular reason for following them?
I think this is my favorite so far hahaha
I love that one.
I dunno, their funny random toots just make my day better.
Following now, thank you! Any particular reason for following them?
I just like what they post. If I find an interesting post (usually because someone I follow boosted it), I look at the author’s other posts, and if I find them interesting, I follow them.
There is also a list of accounts with the most followers: https://fedidb.com/accounts.
Awesome, thank you for this! Following Ars Technica and Robert Reich now, for sure!

Yeah I find it easier to find new content that I like on reddit and Lemmy (though I don’t use reddit anymore), though Mastodon, BlueSky, and Twitter I have a harder time getting into due to just not discovering much.
PerfectDark, also seen here on Lemmy. Covers gaming, steam deck, handhelds, retro gaming topics, and plenty other treats!
Thank you! And also thanks for providing a link that opened directly into the Mastodon app!
Oooooo this is interesting. What groups are you following? How does this work exactly?
