The thing is, I get like 10 or 20 posts into scrolling down Home, and then (and sometimes well before then) I end up following one or more interesting links / people / servers into one or more rabbit holes, and when I get back there are 1729 new items in Home...
@ceoln Some people come into Fedi and say "It's too quiet".
Like they don't know how to follow a few hundred people at random from the fedifeed.
It was a lot quieter 4 years ago, but there were always more posts that you could possibly read.
@ceoln I feel seen.
@ceoln welcome to Mastodon, where you /know/ you miss a lot of stuff, but that's better than Them hiding stuff from you.
