I have noticed that I do not use the fediverse as much as I otherwise would, because of storage usage and because I have the feeling that certain things would not be entirely welcome on the server.
Which is fine, I think it's a misinterpretation of the server rules, regarding politics on the timeline (could be unlisted, yep, but, still), but the fact that I feel like I have to think about that, means I filter some things out, and end up just skipping the whole fedi thing :-/
Alrighty fedipeeps, I need some help with #GoToSocial.
Already set it up. t's working and federating just fine!
However, before I jump wagon migrating my account there (btw, it's @evilham): I don't seem to find a way to configure fediverse relays, and so the instance feels dead :-D.
When setting up mastodon that's about the first thing I do and leave it for about 48h to cache and discover things before actually using the new instance.
Does @gotosocial support relays?
@evilham @evilham @gotosocial nope, but you can still subscribe to bots that boost thematic content. Such as the ones living at https://tagpush.app.
For example, if you follow <at>gotosocial<at>tagpush.app bot then you receive all the boosts from content with the #gotosocial tag.
Check https://verbamea.com/4dd1a1ca55 for more info about the bots/tags you can follow.
You can also follow FediBuzz bots. Those can be used to obtain content by from complete instances, tags or even specific languages.

Be careful when following bots that serve content from big instances because that could consume a lot of memory of your server.

@z3r0 @evilham thank you and @MeDueleLaTeta!
I just spammed myself with all local emotes (e.g. 
) so I have less issues importing my old posts with a backdate :-)
My guess is that after a couple days of the bots and actually importing the account, things will look just fine :-D
@gotosocial is really neat!
