Arielle CastilloAttempting to follow everyone back today. Have considered changing instances to try to find a more interest-specific one but it looks like I lose all followers if so, so whatever
Jeremy@Ariellec if you switch let us know so we don’t lose track of you, please.
@floregonian I haven’t figured out how to even read my federated feed so I don’t have a lot of motivation to switch. I tried to join the one for anarchists but it didn’t work and I got impatient, lol.
@Ariellec I left a smaller instance to go to the original, largest one because I was getting a “oh, are you new here?!?!?” vibe. I’m happy to help you move instances if you want, but it probably isn’t necessary. I’m no expert, but I’ve done it once and it was fine but absolutely not perfect. All of my followers came with me. And I had to refollow everyone else.
@Ariellec and yes, some folks find a server full of like-minded folks, but honestly, that’s not interesting to me, so my local feed (and federated feed) isn’t actually that valuable to me. #mastodonfc is interesting. #blackfriday is interesting. I’m going to be driven by hashtags more than local users because I’m desperately looking to be challenged (and edified/educated) by diversity.
