How do I do this efficiently?:

I want to review my followed for new content, so I go to preferences then select followers/followed, then select the followed column in relationships. If they aren't on my server, then I can't "a bunch of things" like see all of their posts (and potentially boost them).

Where do I look from within my server to see those I follow specifically because I like their take and want to boost it so I can possibly find others who also like their take so I can find others I might want to follow?

I recognize this is a process for building an "echo chamber" without an algorithm if all I was interested in was politics or social causes, etc. However, I want to find other science-y people on topics of interest who might not be #-ing enough to be found with #search

Do I futz around and find one of each followed posts from my server, bookmark it and then use my bookmark list to stay on my server and select the followed's name from there, manually sifting down through my list of bookmarks?

After getting through 2 "pages" of following, found @zleap (Paul Sutton) who looks to have solved this problem using qoto.org. Maybe (probably) there are other options, but Paul's implementation is looking good to the manual grind of saving a post per following to bookmarks via Mastodon web interface.

Just to clarify that I just use the qoto,org instance. The admin is @freemo if you need to ask anything specifc about the set up, I am sure he would be happy to help.

Hope this helps
