You need to follow hashtags but primary groups. You will find groups boosting toots about your topics. It's the first accounts to follow then you will find others.

It's not that hard. People have to keep in mind, it's not Twitter and so it works differently.

I'm a grandpa of mastodon.

Toots despite the proximity with tweet is good for the community aspect.

Doesn't seem right.
