You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
There’s a problem with that on smaller instances.
You can only see hashtags from people your instance already knows (someone follows them). On bigger, well-connected, instances this is not as problematic.
But, no matter the size of the instance, it just shows how even the “hashtag experience” depends on the “following experience”.
I believe it’s how the data is structured.
Lemmy is focused on themes and topics, with the “user” not being the focus (you can’t even follow a user on Lemmy).
That’s reversed on Mastodon, with focus on the users you follow, and the topics (hashtags, groups, etc) being optional.
For some people, Lemmy is better, for others, Mastodon or other microblog platform. The fact that both can exist in the same network is magical to me.
Yeah, I don’t like mastodon art moderation either, and I wouldn’t recommend signing up there. But that doesn’t change the fact that there are a lot of artists there willing to spread their work.
I was a mod when they picked a fight with a “sister” instance from mine. I saw the MO of the adm. But also found that most of the users there were not even aware of what was happening.
Anyway, OP. Follow whoever you want, just be aware that if you cannot follow someone from mastodon art is because they chose to block your server. Is not personal.
If you like games, try looking at the users of GameDev Place
If you like visual art, Mastodon.Art can be a good place to start.
If you are from Europe, there are a few official accounts at https://social.network.europa.eu/directory
If you like memes, I strongly recommend @skeletor@mas.to and @SmudgeTheInsultCat@mas.to
If you need to get news, Flipboard is in the process of federating its content, you can see a few users that are already able to be followed in this post: https://flipboard.social/@Flipboard/111926711889817950
Hope this helps.

Oh. For sure 😃
She bought a pair of roller skates herself.

I remember sitting with my wife, waiting to get the train back home, holding the bag in my hands. That’s when it hit me. I started to cry, loudly.
Do not worry too much. At least in Brazil, almost no one uses mesóclise on casual conversation, and it can come across as pedantic.
Wait until you learn about “mesóclise”
this is what happened to Linus Tech Tips channel: https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/24/23654996/linus-tech-tips-channel-hack-session-token-elon-musk-crypto-scam
+1 to ZorinOS recommendation.
It’s beautiful, and has a lot of “oh, you came from Windows” user interactions. Like how it recommends similar programs from the store if you run a Windows installer, or installs and configures wine if you still want to run the .exe.
I use it myself even as an “older” Linux user.

That depends if your instance has one or have someone already subscribed to one community with content like that.
I’ve found two instances that specialize in nsfw content: lemmynsfw.com (requires login to see nsfw) and pornlemmy.com
If your instance has no problems with that content, subscribing to communities on those instances may help other cultured people such as yourself in the future.

Enough said
By the way. There’s a mastodon bot called “Inspirational Skeletor” that I find very amusing to follow: https://mas.to/@skeletor
I also started on a very small company. Worked there as Junior developer for about 3 years. I was on the same spot as you are right now. One day, I received a call from a friend who started working on a bigger company in a different state (I live in Brazil), saying they were hiring. I figured I could at least try their technical tests to see where should I improve.
So I applied for the junior position. They thought my test solution was good, so I got to the interview phase. To my surprise, the interview was not for the junior position, but for the medior one (don’t know the correct term, but higher than junior but lower than senior), and receive the job proposal on the next week.
I agree with @MagicShel@programming.dev’s comment: “you need exposure to other environments, other ideas, other technologies and frameworks in order to grow”. And it goes both ways. Without testing yourself, you’ll never know how much you did grow and where you are.
So, my advice to you is: do not wait until you feel “ready” to do the move. It may “click” too late. If you want to move on, just do it. At least you will test yourself, and know how to correct your course, if you need to aim higher ou lower than originally intended.
