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.
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.)
