Follow
just followed 200 people and now the federated timeline has a ton of people in it, even people i didn't follow myself
and that folks is how you *actually federate an instance*
not a follow bot
just follow a good subset of people and let it branch out
@boots I'm doing the same and it works pretty well. :)
@boots I feel like I'm missing something - isn't the federated timeline just all of the follows of all of the accounts on the instance? how does it end up including people who you haven't followed except if someone else followed them?
@abgd oh yes im very knowledgable about this
you see:

@abgd basically uhh, magic
@boots happy to be your federation vector
