@realcaseyrollins Use a VPN.
It will tunnel right thru firewalls. I found and am using a FREE one right now. https://protonvpn.com
Recommended for use specially if on public networks!
@realcaseyrollins Yeah, mine is like that too. Always a lot of traffic there, while here sometimes there's no post for a while.
@realcaseyrollins I do, I like to check all new local posts since the last time I was in, respond to notifications, greet new users, respond to new and interesting topics, etc.
It feels different, closer, looking at people we are more familiar with already. When things quiet down, I go to the Home feed to see what's passing by, respond to some interesting ones, maybe find new and interesting people to follow.

@realcaseyrollins Ah, nice, glad to know you had a better day!
@kemonine That's a lot of storage. 7 drives, wow. 👍
This helps because everything you boost gets added to your own instance's federated timeline, and the federated timelines of everyone who follows you.
More importantly, it also adds those boosts to hashtag searches, making it easier for people to find posts about their interests using hashtag searches on their own instances.
Spreading the good stuff around the fediverse helps everything to interlink and keeps the timelines and Home feeds organically full, varied and busy.
Mastodon is prone to bubbles.
When you look for new people to follow you check the public timelines, which by design mostly contains people already followed by people on your instance. It's hard to break out of that.
Here's what you do.
1) Go to https://mastodon.social/tags/YourTagHere but change the last bit to a hashtag of your choosing.
2) Click boost on all the cool stuff.
Also, use hashtags in your own posts and boost cool stuff with gay abandon!
@roadkillcobra@radical.town take a look. https://queer.party/@cassolotl/101963491771182933
@roadkillcobra@radical.town Ain't that spamming your own followers? Boosting a post will just make sure they see a notification of it. Which they already got, if they follow you.
Hyperboost, maybe, get an account at a large instance, get many followers and then, boost this account's post with that new one.
