Gregory's Server@smitty it is a step backward though because those 'watering holes' should be based on the irl social graph rather than arbitrary technical boundaries (choosing a server)

 @norro no it doesn’t. You can still follow anyone on any server. They won’t show up automatically in your Local timeline, but you can still follow them. It becomes a problem of discovery. How do you FIND people? That’s where hashtags and boosts come in. That’s why it’s so important to boost posts you think are interesting, so those posts become searchable by more instances. @norro your world is that black and white? No nuance at all? Things can’t have good and bad aspects to them? Pick an instance to get you into the Fediverse. Search some hashtags for topics you like. Look at Local if your instance is community based. Follow a bunch of people. Look at who they boost, and follow some more. Boost people you think others should follow. Unfollow those you don’t quite need anymore. It works. Thousands are already doing it. |
@norro you’re not locked into a server. You can move to a new one that’s a better-for-you watering hole.
