People often struggle to find good follows on Fedi. I just realized I have a great resource for this: the list of everyone I've cited for the Product Picnic newsletter over the past year and a bit!

If your feed feels "dead" or not interesting, inject some active #UX #tech #product #research people into it (as well as authors/academics writing about these topics):

@PavelASamsonov thanks. I think nobody ever put me into the "UX/Product" bucket ;)

@PavelASamsonov Haha, it's funny how much smaller this list is than your starter pack on Bsky.

@phire Yeah, the community is sadly not as large here. But I've also found it harder to find people's handles on here so I think I'm missing a fair number of people.

Lists work differently here, if I understand it correctly. They're more like a personal address book of interesting accounts in a particular subject are – again, if I'm getting it right.

That said ... Does this get you anywhere?

@PavelASamsonov Next release of Mastodon (4.6) is going to have "Collections" a simple way to package these up to share easily

@PavelASamsonov I'd say it's follow the hashtags on topics you're interested in.

@nemeciii Unfortunately, the hashtags are hardly ever used by the people with something to say, and meanwhile get a lot of low-effort spam from agencies offering to do up your ecommerce website.

@PavelASamsonov @nemeciii The R community is the only one I've found on here that actually uses hashtags, so... go figure, I guess?

@PavelASamsonov @nemeciii

yeah, i'm starting to feel like the way is to skim tags for interesting posts and then skim the poster's profile, maybe follow, and stuff will start trickling in. you can skim their boosts and replies for more profiles and repeat, but that feels exhausting and maybe cyberstalky. also, i've been thinking of starting meta discussions on the tag, for accounts and posts to check out or mute
