@xupamayne welcome to r.p, I was going to recommend you follow @cryptica but it seems that you already do! :D

[dillyd@turtleisland.social]

@xupamayne
Welcome! If you like nice photos, I recommend following just about anybody who I boost. Are there any particular kind of accounts/subjects you're interested in?

[missgayle@urbanists.social]

@xupamayne

Follow all those hashtags you mentioned above to fill your home feed with all your favorite topics. Search for #Music for example, click through, the follow button should be top right.

Welcome @xupamayne !

You may wish to check out https://fedi.directory/ for unofficial curated lists of accounts to follow.

Also, try out some hashtags for your interests and see who is posting things that interest you.

@FediTips has lots of helpful guidance to improve your experience here.

[nxskok@cupoftea.social]

@MissGayle @xupamayne good advice; you can then follow people who post with those hashtags if you would like to see what else they say.

For Nordic electronic/folk-hybrid music and production you might want to check out @counivers

[mikebabcock@floss.social]

@xupamayne highly recommend expanding your about me section of your profile -- see mine and others for ideas. You can be quite verbose and its the first thing people see about you when you add them for example.
I also recommend searching any hash tags you love and looking for interesting people. Note that you can *follow* hash tags just like you follow people, and those subjects will show up in your feed.

@nxskok @MissGayle @xupamayne Great tip. You can always unfollow or mute people later when you get overwhelmed, either mute permanently or temporarily. I mute some people I follow, because they post so much I only want to check in with them when I have the time and energy. You can also choose if you want to mute everything a person posts or only their boosts.
