How does the "Home" timeline work? I have a vivaldi account since I use their browser so thought I may as well log into it, the Home timeline there is really populated with new posts from random people from different instances, but I don't have anyone followed (other than myself), they're also different posts than Federated, is it a server thing with their own algorithm or something?
OP
if it's not the local or federated timeline then yeah, it might be something they made
nvm I'm dumb 
I think I had a few tags followed, it might just be that they populated my timeline faster than my main account because things aren't buried by boosts from people I followed.

yeah, it's awesome, it works EXACTLY like everyone was expecting mastodon to work!
It's not 100% there yet but his plans for 2023 seem to complete the feature set. One click reply to people on different instances in particular will be very useful.yeah, it's awesome, it works EXACTLY like everyone was expecting mastodon to work!

Twitter rival Mastodon rejects funding to preserve nonprofit status
Open source microblogging site has seen surge of interest since Musk took over Twitter.

Puh, I read it at first that the funding was to preserve non profit status, meaning it was rejected so it could become for profit. I read it as the opposite of what it actually was haha

The way the article is written and some of the quotes used really highlights how freaking terrible the tech media are at covering Mastodon.
There is almost a tone or sense of utter bafflement that they refused the investment.
Also, gotta laugh at the chuds who thought investing in a not-for-profit platform was a good idea.

They are working on a lot of improvements! Nice to see that even with the influx of new users they aren't just sitting there without doing nothing.
Sent my wishes. Mastodon.social then did its best to look like a dead horse.
I conclude that I broke the Internet. Sorry

So made an acc to see how things are, first impression is that Mastodon is barren as a wasteland.
Gematsu account posts no news, there are absolutely NO cosplayers.
Found the fedora and openSUSE official twitter account and they both had 1 post and itās old compared to twitter stuff.
iāll check it every now and then but itās far from being as useful as twitter

Yeah content creators are probably gonna continue staying on twitter because that's where they make their money, right now it's more like forums in terms of social interactions.

A lot of people are going to keep using twitter until it actually implodes, that's just the way it is. Most people couldn't give less of a shit about Musk's one man show, and as long as the thing keeps working people are going to keep posting their content there because that's where their audience still is. Other than that, I guess I could see a possibility where the alt-right problem starts affecting unrelated people, that might prompt some creators to move.
I guess it shows that values are the first to go when their influencer money are on the line.
Sure itās easy for me to judge that since I wasnāt that active on twitter and find mastodon much better. But for example Iām not moving to peer tube over YouTube just because some day I do want that ad money.

It's not just "influencers", there is literally nothing on mastodon atm, there are no companies, no cosplayers, no artists, I'm not on twitter for following people with opinions, i'm on twitter as an aggregator of sort for stuff I follow (as a matter of fact I immedialy mute anyone who constantly tweets about anything that aren't those topics I listed)
Those few accounts that are there are "token" accounts.
The whole twitter drama is also only in the anglosphere and only if you dig for it, in my TL for example (which is 90% JP artists and cosplayers) there's never been absolutely anything about it except for one (1) person which used the whole thing as an excuse to post her linktree.

by content creator i meant like everyone that create things, like artists, they stay there on twitter because they already built an entire following.
You also just need to look and follow the right people and right tags. There's a whole instance for artists for example:
mastodon.art
If you want JP artist Mastodon they're mostly on Pawoo (Pixiv instance which got defederated by a lot of servers for good reasons).
But the userbase is still obviously low despite a ton of people making an account, because people from a ton of social circles have no reasons to move and leave their friends/acquaintances.

At least you gave it a chance
but yeah it's not so much a twitter "replacement" for now, but more of an alternative social media platform, and especially it has its own userbase, like I kept trying to get some artists I know (without forcing them) to spread out and not put all the eggs in one basket, but they just doesn't have the time nor want to take the effort to start somewhere new, there's just no incentives to, especially the way Mastodon is structured, it just does many things differently and less "commercialized" in a way.

See watch is published in other stance without needing to follow accountsfollow how? like, what are you trying to achieve exactly?
I think one way would be to follow hashtags but don't think you can follow the whole of an instance
ah, so the local timeline
hmmm, well not really, not officially
some of the apps DO let you follow other local timelines, though
i believe FediLab does
OP
also when you follow hashtags its taken from the Federated timeline and shows up in Home timeline.
and the federated timeline grows as you and other ppl on your server interact with other ppl/servers
Mastodon > Twitter
The human element is already better than it is on angry, broken Twitter.

Yeah I got some nice people there recommending me for follow every once in a while.
awww, that's pretty cool!
