More accurately, thanks to federation, the posts from not one but myriad social networks float by unnoticed in your feed unless you’re online watching like a hawk 24/7 😉

There are many useful ways of viewing posts that matter to you. I have a number of lists I’ve curated, am following several groups, regularly view posts that include a hashtag I’m interested in. I also have turned on post notifications for about 10 folks — these are people I’ve found I want to read ALL their posts. @brianstorms @Gargron @Sarahp Maybe you’re just trolling, but a serious recommendation nonetheless: I have a list with accounts of whom I don’t want to miss a post. This is a slower feed which I can easily catch up with. The rest is for doomier scrolling. |
@brianstorms @Sarahp The home feed algorithm is a choice of Mastodon, not the federated protocol underlying it. Threads has an algorithmic timeline and its part of this network. There are also apps that address this on the client-side, for example @phanpy has a unique catch-up feed.
