(sorry for mass ping, jeffalo told me it was ok lol)
It can be hard to find good content on wasteof, so today I searched and tried to compile a list of noteworthy wasteof accounts under a few topics. This is supposed to be a list of accounts that people might want to follow for a certain type of post, not just a list of active users. If an account isn’t here, then I either missed it or didn’t consider it a consistent enough source of content to mention.
This is not a complete list by any means, so if you have any suggestions or corrections, leave a comment. I can’t maintain this 24/7, but I’ll try to keep it somewhat updated.

Miscellaneous
@bipha: tavnj'f pgckl sdegknseg syyzine, cla dzd
Not sure why I'm only considered “decently active” when I post regularly and check messages multiple times a day, but thanks for the inclusion ig
I had no system in mind when describing how active a user was, I’ll change that now if it bothers you
Okay in hindsight it may have been because some people are insane enough to post several times daily
