Gregory's Server@darius Yeah, I understand. How is the explore page with your 100 users? Is it somewhat similar to the explore pages of larger instances like mastodon.social?
Interested in hearing your opinion about https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/11339

@darius I understand not wanting trending type content, and my preference is still to look at my home feed of course, but I like having an explore page to find new people to follow, perhaps interested in topics other than the topics the people I follow are boosting. Regarding the second part, I was under the impression that posts become trending with amount of boosts/favorites, and since we only have a few users + favorites arent federated, the explore page will stay empty for a long time.  @visne yeah I get that. Do you know about relays? They are basically a way for you to subscribe to a source of further information about the fediverse so your server in some ways ingests information more like a bigger server. Info here: https://joinfediverse.wiki/index.php?title=Fediverse_relays&mobileaction=toggle_view_desktop @darius Yep, I've already enabled a bunch of them. I think theres a few on that page I haven't added. Is there any harm in just adding as many relays as you can find? |
@visne I actually have the explore page turned off because none of my users want "trending" type content! We mostly talk to each other and then follow people who we like in the outside world.
To be clear: the more your users get followed by people from the fediverse, the more rich your Explore page and Federated timelines will become. So it's not just about number of users, but how connected they are to the rest of the network.
