I’m hoping to find more general, less nerdy content or infuriating American news. 99% of what I see and is recommended to me is just that.
I know Technology Connections has an account. I’m thinking people roughly along those lines in terms of popularity/scale but I’m open to any topic from gardening to gaming.
I like how Technology Connections, of all things, is your example of “less nerdy,” LOL!
Same. Would like a tad less. Although I like nerdy. It’s all I get. I like gardening and games
LoadingReadyRun is a long running comedy show, with frequent content in sketches, news shows, Magic the Gathering and gaming.
i follow @garfieldeo@mastodon.world for garfield comics in esperanto
Perhaps you could also try asking it at !mastodon ?
Still tech but less nerdy. More about business and markets and geopolitics and whatever
Follow hashtags and you can decide what content you want to follow. You can then follow individuals from there.
I’ve followed a few, but basically everything I’d be even remotely interested in seem to be near-dead (at least in English).
What topics are you looking for? These threads never specify what topics you’re looking for! 😄
I’m personally more intro the more popular geeky hobbies, likes video games, Warhammer, History, and building computers, but like I said, I’m open to other quality content as long as it isn’t too niche.
Oh are you kidding there’s SO MUCH Warhammer on Mastodon. Check out the local feed of warhammer.social. There’s also wargamers.social but obviously a bit broader in focus.
Even if you just follow #Warhammer there’s a decent amount but then you can add in other tags like #Warhammer40k, #GamesWorkshop, #AgeOfSigmar, #Necromunda, #BloodBowl, #WarHamFam, #WarhammerCommunity, #Wargaming, #MiniaturePainting and damn we have got ourselves a feed going!
I’m sure I read a post on one of the communities here recently that was showing off their entry to a Mastodon-based painting competition as well.
As far as things like gaming go obviously that’s a pretty wide topic and it’s gonna depend what you’re looking for. #VideoGames or #Gaming for example gets you a lot of news headlines. Specific game tags e.g #Starfield will get you a mixture of news, streamers, screenshots, memes and of course people aggressively complaining. Or maybe you’re interested in seeing what sorts of games small indie creators are making in which case something like #DevLog might be of interest.
I know your original post is asking for “notable content creators” which it seems like you’re using to mean “big accounts”. But really if it’s interesting content on a topic you enjoy, the size of the account posting it doesn’t matter.
And naturally since you said you’re open to other “quality content” I do also recommend #Knitting because we’re surprisingly active and also cool af.
Same as that, I stopped using it because it was so so narrow in scope.
That said I hated Twitter and never used it, never had it installed.
Check out the communities on mander.xyz for cool science content. If you check my profile, I’m helping out with a handful of medical and healthcare communities.

My feed has a bit of tech and local news, but there’s a good bit of other content too!
Fuckcars is a good Lemmy sub about better urban spaces. Mastodon has some good bicycling hashtags.
That’s mostly politics as well.
I hate to break it to you, but everything is politics if you care about it enough.
100% it’s political and so very one sided, obviously. It’s actually quite annoying a sub on reddit because they are right in what they say about urban planning and then ignore or attack anyone who recognises the freedoms associated with personal cars. It’s not a progressive debate if you refuse to see the benefits of what you oppose.
