@duco I find that's a problem of not following enough people 😅 the ones that are active do fill up the feed more when it's not very busy.
You can mute just their boosts if that helps you?
Otherwise yes, I find you either follow just a few people and want to see everything since your last visit, but the active people feel like they're hogging the feed, OR you follow lots of people which dilutes the heavy posters, and end up comfortable with the idea you won't catch up with everything.
