apparently i'm just doing it wrong

@nolan But i'd have to manually switch between these accounts to see what's going on in each, right?

@iiogama If i can somehow be logged into multiple instances at the same time, sure. The problem is that currently the stream options are:

1) people I follow (currently few, because it's hard to find interesting people)

2) my local instance (where I know no one and it's relatively quiet), or

3) the Flood that is Global Federated (which is utterly overwhelming)

If I could subscribe to follow the streams of a few known-interesting (and mostly English) instances, that would help.

This place needs a) a filter-by-language feature, and b) an option to subscribe to various instances so I can watch more than one without having to watch all of it.

So, what's up?

Randomly, I'm finding that Mastodon is a weird combination of too quiet and way too noisy. No comfy middle ground. Hm.

good morning, tooters :bee:

@SuzanEraslan yay! I'm glad you like them. I have a blast putting all this stuff together.

@jen Oh i mean the actual global federated timeline :) Busy busy!

@SuzanEraslan :D I have four currently -- usastampart.etsy.com and canadastampart.etsy.com and auntymaudes.etsy.com and parchmentmoon.etsy.com

I'd love to know what you think!

(Parchment Moon is a bit of a mess right now -- once I get the other three sorted, I'll be focusing on what to do there.)

@jen I'm seeing loads of stuff in the federated stream.

Just spent the day updating every listing in two of my Etsy shops. Eeyah. :dizzy_face:
