Hey admins of smaller servers, i have to tell you something!
In the first days of social.tchncs.de i explored some gnusocial and mastodon servers for interesting and active users and followed them from here. So the these where about 20people from random but maybe 8 different instances and about 100 from boosts. Everything else happened by itself. I stopped with this weeks before the twitter update and never needed a bot. My server knows 601 servers atm and my federated timeline is hyperactive.
@milan and for people of "not so much connected" instances (noadvert...):
if your federatedTL is too light built your homeTL in consequence. Your follows are not a best friends' list ;)
We should all adapt to imperfections as devs and admins do. Socializing on Mastodon will maybe be very different as we used to do
Power to imagination !
