Follow your friends, check out your instance’s federated feed and follow some people there (if you aren’t self hosting), follow some tags, and follow a trending bot like @popularposts@masto.ai

Is that 100m active users?

I haven’t hooked up posting from my domain yet, but I understand this is an alternative to using an AP plugin or https://fed.brid.gy/ . Seems pretty slick if you want to tie your primary identity into a mastodon server, though I guess in theory this approach could work with any AP platform that has a similar API. Probably the best use case would be if you don’t fully self-host your own blog.

Awesome, thank you for taking the time to respond and being open to the idea! I’ve really appreciated the tools you’ve made allowing these communities to form and I hope you are keeping your sanity with all the reddit migration explosions!

Ruud would likely bring in some Masto + other fediverse users who haven’t tried Lemmy yet.

Allowing the core devs to let us know more about them outside of their coding + assumed politics (we really should have a link to their recent post https://join-lemmy.org/news/2023-06-17_-_Update_from_Lemmy_after_the_Reddit_blackout and make it a rule in the AMA to not beat that dead horse) would likely make lemmy more approachable to those on the borderline. Any way it would go would still be better than u/spez’s.

I think any of the three would be large enough that we can stress test community interest/behavior, mod abilities, and instance/community load.

Maybe we can get @ruud@lemmy.world, @dessalines@lemmy.ml , or @nutomic@lemmy.ml to do one?
