MODERATORS
It takes some effort to build up and shape your Home feed on Mastodon. One good starting point is to search for hashtags that you're interested in, like #sports or #gamedev or whatever. It may take some trial and error to find the most popular hashtags being used in your topics of interest. Once you find the hashtags with stuff that's interest to you, follow those hashtags so you will continue to discover new people and posts in those topics in your Home feed. Once you find interesting people posting in those hashtags, follow them. The name of the game on Mastodon is to follow, follow, follow. I've heard it said that your feed will get pretty good when you follow around 200 people or so.
