These are some great resources, thank you!

I've always found it a bit of a struggle to build a new feed from scratch. Once I've got a decent foundation, it's easy enough to see who my follows are interacting with and follow them, see what topics get brought up that I may not have thought about and follow them, etc.

Twitter wasn't too bad when I started with it because all my friends were on it and all my favourite musicians, game designers, directors, etc, were on it. It was easy to build up a starting network fairly quickly. But with Mastodon, none of my friends really care for microblogging any more, and a lot of the artists and individuals I'm interested in haven't switched to it yet, so getting that initial foundation going has been a struggle for me. I guess subscribing to hashtags is the solution to that problem!

It looks like the combination of the directories you linked should be really useful, thank you again!
