My Fediverse Advice:
* Follow more people. No, even more people than that. Basically, if you find a real person and their posts are good follow 'em
* If you get a good reply to a post boost it. If you make a good reply to a post boost it. Replies are not visible in the feed unless you do this. As long as the post is an OK start to a conversation or interesting boost it.
* Write thoughtful replies. And if you put effort into a reply boost it or probably only the people tagged will see it.
@futurebird there are at least two tactics: Read everything that people you follow post, or just glance over the flood of posts that you can't really consume in the few hours you are awake.
When people who follow over 1,000 accounts start following me, I know they'll probably see less than 1% of my posts.
@Stefan_S_from_H @futurebird I lean toward the strategy of reading everything that the people I follow post. I curate who I follow and which of my followers I hide boosts. I currently follow 131 accounts. It is working pretty well, I am seeing a good amount of interesting things on my home timeline, although I probably can't read everything.
But I am curious how people do it that follow thousands of accounts? Do they have some kind of algorithms to surface the interesting posts.
