Kev QuirkI'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?
Tas' Compassion@kevq I stick to the federated timeline and poke at other users follow lists.
The cool thing is once you follow a user your 'home' instance will start picking up their toots and boosts.
As the instance grows in users (and by proxy people followed) the amount of visibility into the network greatly improves.
It's a bit rough going initially but over time things can expand nicely.
