I’m currently on TenForward.social, which is great. I have no issues with the users or admin. They’re all good people. But I’m more of a casual Trek fan and posting about anything non-Trek-related doesn’t seem to be what the other members want to engage with. I like to post about sci fi or horror movies I’m watching, games I’m playing, old TV shows from the '90s and '00s, and other geeky things I’m into; but it’s like I’m talking to myself when I do.

I know there’s also the global feed, but that’s like spitting into the ocean.

I’ve tried to find more of a general media or geek-culture focused instance but have come up dry. Does anyone know of something along those lines?

    This is key. Also try to figure out which relevant hashtags are being used, and follow and use them.

    Finding relevant groups can also be an idea. Tag and follow for example @scifi@a.gup.pe, or even consider if it’s worth sharing your post on Lemmy (by tagging for example @sciencefiction@lemmy.world).

    Anything can be a group in a.gup.pe, by changing what’s been the @s. When you search for a group in Mastodon you’ll see how many followers it has. A more integrated group functionality will probably be implemented in Mastodon in the future, but for now that’s what we’ve got. :)
