I've started a new habit of expanding my social graph on the fediverse.

I pick an instance like hci.social, browse its live feed, engage with posts, and follow people that interest me.

https://hci.social/public/local

This method is ideal for others like me on a single-user instance or server with few people.

@jon Shortly after setting this one up, I discovered https://relay.fedi.buzz/ and added a handful so that my federated timeline wasn't a ghost town. It also jumped my monthly S3 bill to three whole dollars; I don't know if I'll ever financially recover from that. 😂

@stephenyeargin

I'll start off slowly to see how this goes. I like the idea of adding smaller instances that interest me, which should keep my database from exploding.

@jon Yeah, I, an idiot, put mastodon.social in there as a test ... for about five minutes. It definitely did what it was supposed to do -- inundate me with every post coming out of that gigantic instance.

Don't do that. 😀
