    I joined up before you could subscribe to hashtags, so my approach was:

    1. Read my local instance feed and click on content that interested me.
    2. Checked the users that made the interesting content to see if they had more.
    3. If they did, followed.

    Nowadays I would add this step:

    1. Subscribe to hashtags on topics I’m interested in and follow people who regularly contribute good material to them.
