The Fediverse is doing great, apparently.

I got recommended this article by TechCrunch, that was written yesterday (1:02 PM PST January 1, 2026), earlier this morning.

    TechCrunch has that article tagged as "evergreens", which I think is their code for "we can probably get away with reposting this later and pretending it's brand new."

    Case in point, this article was published in 2023.

    Is there an "intermediate" guide that covers how to fine tune your home feed? I don't get how to follow / mute / block / filter very well yet.

    Masto has 3 feeds Federated: everyone your server knows (public posts) Local: people on your server only (public posts) Home: All posts from people you follow There is not algoryhthm for feeds, just chronological order.

    Check Federated and Local feeds for new people. Click on their profile and follow/mute/etc as you want

    Also, search hashtags you are interesed in and try the same of federated and local

    Not OP, but which is which on the official Android app?

    I'm guessing Home is who I follow, Live Feed is local and the Explore tab is federated. Is that correct?
