@magicwordsedit Very cool idea; but may I advise that you rather start getting to know the people from the local timeline and make friends with them?
Your and their interests will come out naturally.
Anyway, nice to meet you; I'm Italian and lived in many places, I currently live in Spain.
I like going around and making friends with anyone.
I love hitchhiking for this reason!
@rastinza the awesome beauty of Mastodon (and all other social networking/media) is there is not one right way to get to know people. Your suggestion is valid. So is this method. Best to you!
