@nprofile1q... For a lot of people starting out it can be intimidating and not quite as clear on how to discover, I think for me it was made easier that some people I knew had moved over when I joined so the discovery can be organic like yours but for others it's not.
I do like bsky's "starter packs" as people to consider following - but it does take me quite some time to whip up the courage to reply to people I follow even now ^^;
