#feditips #fediverse How important is the local timeline for participating in conversations, being discovered as a voice on the topic of focus for the instance, etc?
Like do most people care about the local timeline for the purpose of following *topics*? Or do most people just use regular follows and hashtags for that?

I'd like to look to the local timeline, but it's hard to find an instance that has that critical mass of people also interested in the same topics.
In theory it's a great idea. In practice it's tricky for the same reason that it's hard to launch a new social media platform: you need the people there to get the people there.
