One Canuck built the #ttrpg tag and the #mecha tag. And that was me.

Hey, folks!
I could use a few pointers on where the hobby folks are here on Cohost. I'd still much prefer to move over here 'full time' as it were, but I could use a hand in filling out my follow list with other folks who're into miniatures, wargaming, 3D printing, and all the fun and miscellany that comes with it.
Who's out there? Say hi!
Hello! I'm not sure how many there actually are, because of the way tagging things works here. I've variously been using #mini painting, #minipainting, #miniature painting, and so on, plus whatever system or faction is relevant (and it still relies on people actually tagging posts at all), so I'm sure there are more than I've found.
There was an artist around here who basically did a twitter-style artshare/rechost thread thing. Might be worth giving that a shot to see who you can draw out of the woodwork?
Ooh, that's a good one. I remember having seen that thread, actually; good call on stealing that cunning plan.
Likewise, I wish the tagging were a little more uniform over here. #paintingminiatures seems to do the business on Instagram, but there doesn't seem a happy standard just yet. Although 'The Cohost Global Feed (Miniatures)' might be a worthy candidate, given how many variations on that there seem to be.
TCGF(M) seems like a great idea actually. Doesn't currently seem to exist, but that just means we're getting in on the ground floor! I may go back and see if I can add it to my posts so far.
Hi! I'm mostly a beginner and currently on a hiatus because of Baldur's Gate 3, but will resume painting soon ish
Good to see you on here, welcome!
I've been trying to bookmark tags like #miniatures and #wargames, which gives some results at least.
Tags seem like a pretty useful CoHost thing, I guess it's like Tumblr in that regard
Cheers! I've got to find a happy middle ground between tagging for useful stuff and just throwing eight thousand tags on anything like Instagram demands. Good call on bookmarking them, though, I'd quite forgotten you could do that.
