4. Be mindful who you follow

Honestly, if you like someone's content, follow them.

This isn't really a hard-and-fast rule, but it's something that works for me in terms of making it easier to find good content to upvote and comment on.

One of the most useful things about your following list is that these are the people that will show up in your "home" feed, and you can get notifications from them. This is very important because if you follow powerful accounts you will know right away when they have posted, which means you'll have an edge in reading their content, upvoting it, and leaving a great comment right at the top of the post.

If you find someone in the "hot" or "trending" tabs that you really like, follow them, and be active when they post.

It is also important to follow up-and-commers: minnows who are doing all the right things and are posting great content.

Here is the list of people that I follow and why I follow them to get you started. They are all great accounts for doing exactly what I'm talking about, so follow them. Some are artist, some are bloggers, some are YouTubers, some are developers. All are good.
