In your profile page/ tab you will see "following", that's where you can see you you're following and also your followers in that tab. Separately at the top (mobile app), you'll see a star and a "bookmark" icon, that's where you'll see your favorites and bookmarked toots.
And as for fun accounts, check out the tweet below that has a bunch that can get you started and fill your timeline slowly. Also keep in mind, you can follow hashtags.

As for searching, the new mastodon 4.2 I think brings in autocomplete for searches, so you'll see that implemented soon on mastodon servers.
Hope that helps initially!
Thank you so much for your reply and the link. In my profile i see followed hashtags, but not 'following'. I see blocked users, blocked domains, pinned posts and more, but nowhere what i am following. Oh, wait, found it! It is tucked away in Preferences-->Follows and followers That's a lot of work to get there... In mobile, i downloaded Tusky, but haven't used it yet.
Yes, i (only) read the headline about the new mastodon, but hadn't joined there yet, so scrolled past it... Again, thanks for helping this newbie out!
Glad that was helpful!
Not sure about Tusky, I remember trying our a number of mastodon apps initially but the original was seemed best. Until hopefully if 3rd parties mature then why not. But the original one is very simply and basic to use, recommend you check it out.

Thank you, i might try it out, but usually i prefer to start out with open source apps and Tusky seemed to get much praise. Haven't tried others just yet, but probably will at some point.
Oh yes, the app is open source.. enjoy and welcome to mastodon!
Thank you!
