So you can export your following list and then reimport it on another instance? There should be a federated migration tool. Allow us to shift between nodes. Notify followers to shift their follow. You could load balance the Federation this way. Encourage users to migrate with incentives? But, what incentives? Cookies?
@cardhouse There was probably a reason Twitter killed their Worldwide tweet feed display.
so what happens when mastodon becomes 100x larger ... federated timeline turns into a slot machine reel?
Not to be all Shatner, how do we find people across the Federation? (See what I did there?)
@Rasgueado I picked one that federated and they said it was cute.
I just discovered that I thought it was OK to use founder to mean flounder… I should probably send back my MA degree now…
@sonya I don't know the writer. But, he doesn't seem to have the desire to explore new tech. Several of his points were just dead wrong.
Oh dear god. The Amaroq iphone app for MAstadon is melting my Apple Watch with notifications.
Is there a central site for info on the Federated activity on Mastadon? Or is this a situation where I am welcome to build it?
@derwinmcgeary OMG. I know a writer in Japan who would love the longer Toot counts
@CobaltVelvet It works now. I had to disbale the old failed 2FAs and then do it again. Thanks. @gargron
@CobaltVelvet No it isn't. :P I never activated it. But now Amaroq app is requiring it. But, all the 2FA codes I scanned failed. @gargron
My mentions here are already 10x as active as my Twitter mentions, but mostly from people I don't know. Hold me, I'm frightened.
I'm just here trying to understand what I'm doing here
@derwinmcgeary Right! Diaspora! @stephencoyle @Averly
What was that decentralized social network that was supposed to compete with facebook a couple years back?
For some reason fledgling social networks make me think about dubstep.
