@unusualplan Do you find yourself using it much? So many of the bigger instances are so general, I am not sure just what value it brings (except for the relatively small and topically focused communities)

@shoq @CMDoran @unusualplan is it possible to follow that with the Metatext app? @brewster @brewster |
@shoq
I use it in only two cases
1: a music band-specific instance with 350 members. It's mostly on topic or close enough, has members I know ex-Twitter. I read it regularly.
2. Journa.host. Only dip in occasionally, usually when there's a big news event and my regular timeline isn't keeping up with my new news addiction :-) I have used it also to find new journalists to follow in my Home.
In general, though, I agree with you that most local timelines aren't helpful to follow.
