  very curious what server you are on? im on a server with 1k active users, so not big by any measure, and manually counted the federated timeline just now, and it shows at least 50 new posts per minute. like how do you even use that? do you just watch it until an interesting account pops up on there? im very confused by this idea of using federated timeline to find people

  Depends how busy the federated timeline is on your instance. Often it’s just a firehose of bots.

    I ace the bots, but I am not sure if every instance has this option?

  Yes.

  I used to feel that way, but there’s so much crap on that timeline, especially when you’re on a bigger instance. I used to use it for the exact same thing, discovery. A lot of it is just noise to me now, though.
