There’s a lot of good info already in here. I’d also recommend checking out the trending post tab, that’s where you’ll typically find some of the posters with the highest number of followers (“hubs” in the Mastodon zeitgeist). I’d also recommend that you follow Lisa Melton https://mastodon.social/@lisamelton. She boosts a ton of stuff and almost single-handedly acts like Mastodon’s algorithm. Her boosts will give you lots of cool accounts to follow, and at the very least will populate your timeline.

Just did, thanks for the recommendation!

It’s a luxury purchase, but Lamy makes several fountain pens that will last you the rest of your life. The Safari is a great entry pen, made of the same plastic as Legos. The 2000 is a gold nibbed pen whose design remains unchanged since 1966.
