treat it like meeting new people offline.

Thanks for putting out stuff like this! I started using social media in the facebook era and only ever used twitter and tumblr to view "content" and posts from "famous people". Cohost is interesting because has a bunch of people I almost know from going to GDC and GWU stuff pre-pandemic, but I always just lurked in that twitter sphere. Maybe here I will actually become a poster and make connections!
You're so welcome! I think posting is pretty fun, especially because I have a "here is a shiny rock" philosophy about it. This is my personal account, and I treat it as my place to store the cool things I find that other people might (or might not! whatever!) also like. Books I'm reading, a pretty leaf, ramblings about diatoms, reblogging art or essays or jokes from other people.
I like following other people (including what the internet might call "randos" aka non-famous non-'Content Creator' (barf, but that's its own essay) people) who also post about stuff they think is neat. It makes the internet feel real and collaborative and human.
Legit! That definitely seems like a good way to go about it.
Okay I just noticed your profile is a selkie, seals are one of my favorite thing lmao! I need to make seal posting happen on here.
Gotta love how everyone I follow so far shared your post :D Thank you for the heads-up!
I was searching how to meet people here and found this. Can't do number 2, and tag searching gaming has not yielded much. Is there other ways to find new people?
Yeah! My recommendation would be to start tag searching specific games or genres you're interested in to see if you can find more that way. #2 works once you start following people from tags... see who they're reblogging and go from there!
If you're coming here from twitter, doing a search on "cohost" and filtering to accounts you follow can also help you find the cohosts of anyone you follow on there. I would assume you could probably do something similar on mastodon, but I can't personally vouch for that.
If you want a few recommendations I can also do that, though I can't promise they'd be super good for your personal interests.
Welcome to cohost!
Thank you for the reply, is there a way to see who people are following?
There is not! This platform is designed to only show as much information as the users have chosen to make public (that is, by resharing content or by making an original post/comment about it).
oh no
