@theonlyJM I found switching to advanced web view to let me see both the local and federated timelines introduced me to interesting people at a much higher rate than other platforms. Favoriting (the star) is good, boosting (the little tail-chasing arrows to the left of the star) makes the toot visible to way more people.
Mostly, I enjoy the vibe here. Nobody has yet to all caps at me.
