๐ doesn't make discoverability of accounts very easy. so where is tech fuzzy elephant at? i'm aware of a few people over at https://toot.cafe and here on dot social but given there's no public users list (which is probably a good thing!) i'm just sat here trying likely usernames of birdsite people i know in the search. but my memory is a set, not a list: i can tell if things are in it, but not iterate though everything i know.
@quarterto at the moment I just scan the federated timeline to find people who seem interesting.
Some kind of search function might be nice but how it should work I dunno
Also I have yet to try a non .social instance and the bootstrapping problem is going to be tougher on the small ones I guess
