I don’t already know who I want to follow though. What do I search for?

BTW these are things I have actually discussed with people when they are trying to look into fediverse stuff. They don’t want to know how it works. They just want to open up their devices and turn their brains off.

Which is probably a good thing for federated services as it filters out a bunch of people we probably don’t want here. It’s like a test to join.
