Dan York@saper @aral No, I suspect what @[email protected] means is that when you have people join your instance and start following people, THEN your federated timeline starts filling up with more toots. Yes, your local timeline grows, too, but the federated timeline will grow... particularly if you had a user join your instance who went around following MANY people. Suddenly, you'd have a much more full federated timeline.
@[email protected] Ah, that makes sense. You could also post a "final" toot on the old one pointing over to the new one.
If you do that, you might want to put the URL in of https://octodon.social/@shel_holtz as I've found it quicker for people to get to your profile that way.
@Euphoria The last couple of weeks, driven by the range of articles in Motherboard, Mashable, Verge and more.
Impressive growth in Mastodon over the past bit - adding 10,000 accounts in just the last day! https://social.lou.lt/users/mastodonusercount/updates/19136 (And yes, I realize growth was even higher back during the surge of interest.)
Sean BonnerNow over 160,000 users on Mastodon, impressive. How are people finding interesting folks to follow? Not finding a lot of value in the Fed or Local timelines.
Funny how much I've grown accustomed to the "quote" feature over on birdsite. I find myself wanting to "boost" some toots, but wanting to add my own commentary as I do so.
Eugen RochkoWith the recent performance gains and everything working smoothly, I am reopening registrations on .social for a short time, while I am having tea/cake

@dredmorbius The problem is definitely harder than most people realize. I'm right there with you in being online for 30+ years... and the *nuances* around identity are where the hard challenges are.
