Noticing a lot of weekend chatter about helping new people onboard and I literally cannot stress the enough - the experience changes entirely once you follow about 200 people.

Then your home timeline fills up, and you find more people to follow/weed out some of the randos you followed at first.

This place is NOT going to get "busier" if you do not follow people; there are so many posts going on that you are not seeing.

Use "Federated" and "Local" find ppl; follow liberally. It works.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I also go into settings and turn on "slow mode" under Preferences > Appearance -- first time I tried watching Federated about melted my retina it was soooo fast :D Slow mode makes it much better. #mastodontips

@snowwrite @AnarchoNinaWrites Me too—I closed Federated because I was getting dizzy. Thanks for the Slow Mode tip!
