I'm loving #Mastodon so far. However, I'm finding myself joining extra instances all over the place to find people in the same niches I like. It's frustrating, and I feel one of the big limitations of Mastodon that may force it to hit a glass ceiling eventually. Unless someone has a better way of doing things? How do you folks discover new people, do you just stick to the federated timeline?
@kevq I tend to stick to the local timeline because the people here are awesome, but periodically I'll venture out to the federated timeline and find people interesting enough to follow, and that brings in all the people they boost and so on. Getting started can be hard, but I vastly prefer it to ever other platform I've tried, barring IRC, of course.
