Just joined. Anyone have recommendations for tech or music accounts to follow?
@ghost_bird @hoof after checking the introduction tag you can also check #trunk. it is a directory of folk in fediverse by topics of interest. :) Welcome to the fediverse. https://communitywiki.org/trunk
@ghost_bird @hoof oh no no, it is a valid question to ask but yeah trunk existed from early days of fediverse, and is not a bot. :)
@ghost_bird @hoof Trunk is VERY manual and VERY opt in. To add yourself to the registry you poke one of the maintainers politely in a DM (or the DM the bot who also I believe just forward your request to a maintainer) and ask them to add you (or remove in case of a move etc) to some lists.
It is intended for people who want to be open to be followed by new people.

@eylul @ghost_bird thanks for the help!
@hoof welcome. #Infosec has some good people every now and then, if you're into that. Generally, browsing through hashtags is a good strategy.
Specifically, I would recommend @djsundog @sir @cjd @cwebber @jerry @dredmorbius @alcinnz @Are0h @Gina
These should get you started.
Follow broadly, block and mute liberally (wordplay half-intended). Be the social media algorithm you want to see in this world.
@hoof Welcome to the fediverse! Try searching hashtags for #foss #OpenSource and whatever #music genres you’re into. Also try the #introductions tag and consider posting an introduction of your own.
