On mastodon you can follow hashtags, so follow #generative, #procedural, #creativecoding etc, not just people; you get a lot of serendipitous finds this way. What shows up on the different tags varies a bit: #generativeart picks up a lot more AI-generated guff, not interesting to me at all, while #generative tends to get less of that and more hand-coded art.

I do find a lot of NFT pollution in these tags so I've got words related to that filtered out.

I follow some actual people too and you can find good follows from who they RT but following tags made mastodon much better for me than t**ter ever was, and actually makes it worthwhile posting with tags.
