Hi folks, I'm trying to jumpstart federation on my little gotosocial instance and get a more full feed of things to read and interact with.

I could use your help. If you could boost this, I would appreciate it. If you see this and favorite it, I will follow you if your interests seem to align with mine.

I'm not asking for follows... rather I'm asking for you to help me shout out into the ether that I'M looking for people to follow. My main interests are going to be hashtagged below.

By the way, the way hashtags work here is that currently, if I search, I only see what my server is already knows about... which would mean just the folks I follow, since I'm a single-user instance. Not very helpful 😂

I will also be using one of my apps that can load the main feed from other servers, to see if I see something interesting. If you see a follow from me and come here to check me out... I mean you no harm and I come in peace.

Thanks all!

@electragician have you see the tag- users from fedi.buzz?

It’s a reasonably good way to get hashtag content onto your solo instance.

@amd I'm going to look into this now.

Thank you!

@electragician it’s pretty straightforward

You can follow @tag-klr650 and it will boost all the #klr650 content it comes across.

You can also share an api key with fedi.buzz to get your content boosted by them as well.

I don’t do this with my personal user just for security reasons but I created a secondary user that still sees public posts I make on my GtS server and gave an api key to fedi buzz to get me a little more reach for when I’m asking questions and am hoping for a response.

@amd For what it's worth, this was a fantastic suggestion and resource. Thanks again!
