I would like to follow some nice and informative mastodon accounts. Any recommendation?

Follow #hashtags, my friend.
That’s the easiest way to find people with interests like your own.
Yeah thanks, that is the way. I found very often content related to tech and FOSS, wich is great.
It can be spammy at times though. For example, I had to unfollow the #music hashtag because it was mostly bots posting YouTube links.
I had to unfollow most generic hashtags because it was just random people talking about anything and using the tags, often in foreign language, or it was some personal stuff I don’t care about. It really gave me a bad first impression since it made mastodon look more like facebook or sth where people dump their personal stuff online, rather than a valid news source.
I’d instead recommend just following news or publications or groups that actually curate their content.
https://fedi.directory/ contains a human-curated list of accounts categorized by interest.
If you like tech, especially throw backs to old computers you might like Veronica explains. She has 2 accounts on mastodon, one seems more active and the other on seems mostly to just point to her YT channel.
just search for Veronica explains under users/channels and both will show up
I found her cause in addition to being new to the fediverse I’m also new to Linux and found some Linux stuff on her YouTube channel.

A few different fun accounts to follow. I don’t know if I qualify as either nice or informative, but can be mostly found at both: @ArtBear@mastodonapp.uk or @ArtBear@calckey.social
