@naynay Well I recently learned you can Follow Hastags. Can kind of have a similar feel to the AlGoRiThM Timeline just obviously less intrusive as you have to manually add it.

Might be important to bring up that you can always join/hop instances later on even after making an account via importing and exporting the account.

@naynay

I bounced off of Mastodon about a year ago, because I thought it was a ghost town. It turns out it's because I was relying on the (non-existent) algorithm to tell me what to care about!

I didn't know you could follow hashtags that interest you. (there's a little friend button on the web client, but it doesn't appear in the mobile app yet!)

Between that, and being more liberal with follows, I'm having a WAY better time here.

Good luck on your class, btw~

@naynay Oh oh and also that if you just want to follow people without logging into an account has an RSS atom feed. https://<MastodonInstance>/users/<UserName>.rss or .atom

Might be situational but I think it's neat.

Also since you're on the ActivityPub protocol you can follow peer tube and pixelfed accounts too So long as you have the url.
