@kingkoronov I started by watching the local and federated timeline for people/conversations that seemed interesting.
I also aggressively filtered out bots and topics that were the opposite to me.
I believe there are also tools to look for people you follow on Twitter to see if they are here if that helps, but I'm guessing by your profile you weren't a big twitter user.
@Neff Thanks. I've been watching the federated timeline . There are certainly plenty of people there.
