If you haven't already, you might want to try following Fediverse groups. These are special accounts with particular themes that boost any post which mentions them.
You can find lots of groups to follow at:
➡️ fedi.directory/tag/fediverse-g…
Copy-paste a group's address into your Mastodon etc search box to follow it.
Lots more info about using groups at:
➡️ fedi.tips/how-to-use-groups-on…
Groups are especially useful for people on quieter servers, as they actively push all their posts to you.

Sorry about that, they are also listed in the categories along with non-group recommended accounts, you can browse them from the front page at fedi.directory.
I think most categories have some kind of group included? (A lot of them if it isn't a majority, anyway.)
I've read many of these and I've added a few more to my Jane Austen TBR pile!
