depends on who you follow I guess. I always follow people who I decide I want to keep seeing their post. I don’t follow famous people if they post boring stuff. I also don’t follow brand account that are just posting ads lol, like software brand account, etc. I follow 516 accounts and it’s feels pretty lively.
Though with that amount of following I feel like there are few accounts that got their post buried because they post less frequently.
I mostly follow few gamedev people, few FOSS & tech people, non-tech related “fedi shitposters”, and history/archaeology-posting accounts. The shitpoters, gamedev, and tech are the loudest. The latter posts semi-regularly but they just don’t have other people interacted with it. Though I still enjoy their posts.
conversely, I had a alt account on different instance but I don’t actively follow so much account, it feels so empty. though that particular instance have some funny people so the local feed is also quite funny sometimes. So which instance to join is also matters particularly for the local feed.
But it’s also that personally now I’d get slightly annoyed when totally random post appears on my timeline on Bluesky and especially Tumblr. Especially Tumblr which keeps assuming I like taylor swift.
How is mastodon these days?
