Mastodon periods of activity posting really come and go, and right now it feels like we're mostly in a lull. Outside of the handful of regular accounts I can count on, it feels sleepy around here.
@Zeb_Larson Having started my own instance, I've learned that the way to liven up the feed, especially the federated timeline, is to follow accounts from as many different instances as possible. I thought instances came prefederated and, through conversation, instances cut them off one by one, but I learned it's the other way around.

@cwwilkie @Zeb_Larson well, I guess being "prefederated" is not really possible?
@mapto @Zeb_Larson If I'd taken a moment to think about that, that would've been apparent to me. I just didn't consider how the system works.
