@Tekk @kissane same way you find them anywhere else. Look at who gets boosted and people you know and who they follow. My experience is that you need only one or two seeds to create a decent follow list. I say that as someone that managed to import a partial list from Twitter before it was shut down, but honestly I try not to look back, and instead find all new people. 8 comments
@Tekk @robotmonkeys @kissane I use Icecubes too. Boosting is sharing the toot with everyone who follows you, giving it wider exposure. Favouriting is just letting the toot author know that you liked it. Your followers won’t see it.  @Yup_Its_Holly @Tekk @robotmonkeys @kissane it's not mentioned but worth mentioning: the Local and Federated timelines on an instance of any size should give you a public feed to start off with. Apparently that got hidden by default on some clients which is silly and confusing. @robotmonkeys @Tekk @kissane it is absolutely not the same as anywhere else. The actual process of finding people across instances is unique to the fediverse. @robotmonkeys @kissane if I search for a specific hashtag does it show me posts in the instance I am in or across fediverse? @Tekk The rate of fetching however may not be so fast - the technical reasoning I can't follow but it seems based on which instances yours 'talk' to a lot. |

@robotmonkeys @kissane that reminds me. By the way, thank you for the info. But that reminds me what does boost and favorite do I’m using the Ice Cubes app.
