I was hoping for some help during my transition from the bird place. Having left that dumpster fire behind and found a very welcoming community here, there's really only one thing I'm missing so far, real-time news feeds.
Is there a tip or trick anyone can share to help increase the stream of information I see?
As a reward, here's a puppy. If you can find him, he's yours.

Another 100,000 new users joined Mastodon on Saturday.
Mastodon stats from Nov 19, 2022: 7,230,521 accounts, +108,944 in the last day, +582,363 in the last week

It started with the Twitter lockout. 10,000 new users an hour. Almost a quarter million migrated to Mastodon in one day. The servers struggled. Remarkably, admins all over the world built up capacity in real time. New users were patient. The system held.
It's running better now. There will be more hard days ahead, but people powered social media has arrived.
#twittermigration #NewUsers #Welcome
It's absolute dirtbag behaviour when Mastodon struggles so much under a #TwitterMigration of millions of users.
Now lets put things into perspective. Last month, Twitter was employing 6,500 people. Mastodon employs 1 person who's working 14 hour days -- and only compensates himself €36,000 a year.
How is one guy supposed to take build the app that replaces Twitter when Twitter pays hundreds of engineers well over $100,000 to do a fraction of the work?
Yeah, other people deserve donations too -- so donate! Be a hero to the person who's running your instance, as well as the person who builds whatever app your instance is running.
And lest you think that I don't bang the drums on donations for other devs, this is not the case.
Last week, I told everyone to donate to @dansup. A couple of days ago, I told everyone to donate to @Are0h who, by the way, is making another app that builds safety features for marginalized communities. And I'm banging the drum all the time on @thatonecalculator@stop.voring.me and his work with Calckey.
But right now, I'm urging people to help out with Mastodon!

I'm sure you have noticed that Mastodon is running very slow today.
Well, it is your fault. Just kidding. It is great to have you here!
Be patient. This is not normal.
You did not join a slow server. Mastodon is not broken. The entire system is adjusting to the huge influx today. This happened with the last wave too. It will get sorted out.
What you will find here is a better social network. Give Mastodon a chance to adjust to your arrival.

I don't know how you do it in the apps, but in browser:
(1) click on a hashtag you want to follow,
(2) at the top of the list of posts with that hashtag is the little person symbol (see pic). Click it. It will turn the + to an x, that means that hashtag will now show up in your feed.
Hope this helps those of us on the #TwitterMigration #twitterexodus

I think this list/site is a good landing page for the #Fediverse - https://fediverse.info/explore/projects
If I may suggest, re: project list, maybe using familiar words as such “Twitter-like”, “FB-like”, “Goodreads-like” can be helpful too, instead of just “microblogging” (which more likely only us techies understand).

Install the libredirect plugin in your browser to block Twitter from spying you while still allowing you to access content posted there : https://libredirect.codeberg.page/
You can even follow Twitter accounts through RSS (visit a twitter profile with the plugin enabled then add "/rss" at the end of the url).
Bonus point: Not only Twitter. Medium, Reddit, Qora and even Youtube are now simpler, safer and often faster

I'm seeing a swell of "reply guy" behavior: folks (not solely "guys"; it just rhymes, and you're free to send me alternatives; let's workshop) who see an interesting post and rush to slap that "reply" button.
I know that other place incentivizes that behavior. If your reply is funnier, more angrily blunt, etc. than the other seven hundred people who responded similarly, you might go viral, gain a slew of new followers, even end up cross-posted to Reddit or to some Hood-forsaken Bored Panda list as tasty cud for depressed office cattle.
Please listen to your friend Billy Zane on this; he's a cool dude, he's tryin' to help you out:
We're growing, but ain't no 25,000 people seein' your post, my post, ANY post over here. You bust through the wall like ol' Kool-Aid to deliver the same idea that four other people already have? Y'ain't gon' impress.
Just click the goddamned post and look at the whole conversation. There are not 382 replies to scroll through; there's like, on average, five.
And if there are more? Well, that sounds like an engaging, nuanced conversation. You don't want to be the rando that walks up to a table of seven in a restaurant to add a bland, uninformed opinion that the group moved past while they were waiting for apps.
We love it here. We want, sincerely, to love having you here.
Click the goddamned post.
