@haldecraft did you know you can follow a hashtag as if it’s an account? The posts will show up in your feed. Here’s how:

That can help find people to interact with and follow.
I’d recommend #knitting and #FiberArts instead of #knit or #yarn; I think they’re more common. #art is good, too. Not sure what to recommend for your other tags — maybe #florida instead of #floridian
The server you’re on is immense, which can make it paradoxically harder to find folks.
@haldecraft separately, here’s a guide to some smaller servers you might choose to move to if you decide to do that: https://fedi.garden/
It’s organized by topic. (Make sure to read the server guidelines — most servers are happy to have you post about a range of topics, so even if you move to an art or craft server, you can still discuss other things, but there might be guidance about post settings.)
