    Mastodon is a good alternative.

      The search limitations on Mastodon are unfortunately a major issue in science / research orbits.

        I would recommend following tags of the topics you are interested in and you will quickly find interesting people to follow.

          Is there a way to find the most used tags?

          Sometimes I’ll start to tag something, and a billion different variations show up, so I don’t know which to use.

        I mean everyone is different and it depends on your interests. But with Mastodon you can search for and follow hashtags like accounts, then explore users who post with those hashtags.
