good news: my Mastodon/fediverse timeline has already ramped up to the level of activity of my Twitter timeline
bad news: catching up on my Mastodon/fediverse timeline is now as noticeably bad for my mental health as Twitter was -

and no I'm not actually using Mastodon, and yes everyone I've followed I've grouped into different lists, I don't have a "main timeline" to read. That's helped a lot, I can choose to dip into different communities when I want to. -

@aaronpk I feel ya. Today I curated a few lists to make it more likely I can keep up with individual humans I already know, to make it feel more okay to not be a completist about my home feed.
oh yeah I don't even have a home feed because I use my own software, I've always followed people by putting them into different groups. -

@aaronpk What kind of reader are you using? I'd love to read a post about your fediverse setup!
I haven't written about it specifically, but it's all integrated into my personal website and also my IndieWeb reader setup. I did write about that here:

@aaronpk https://social.coop/@brainwane/109379248562850620 do you filter out their boosts?
I don't right now, but I like that idea. Wouldn't be hard for me to do the way I have it set up. But I'm not sure that would actually help much in the end. -

Do you post the same content on both Twitter and Mastodon? If so, do you have a client to recommend?
I just feel I won’t post on Mastodon unless it’s the path of least resistance
You are not going to like my answer, but it is the path of least resistance for me.
I post *everything* first to my website, and my website handles syndicating it to Twitter and via ActivityPub. -

@aaronpk are you filtering? I’ve had to actively filter on here to keep bad stuff away. Filtering for “RT “ and “@twitter.com” helped enormously.
That's not a bad idea. I'm not filtering that kind of stuff out yet. -

@ActiveNick @thomasfuchs you can also setup webfinger on your own domain to make yourself easier to find
if you want to go all in and use your own website as your fediverse identity, you can use this: https://fed.brid.gy/ -

@aaronpk I’m starting to fear this will be true for us all.
But everyone here is nice, right?
it entirely depends on your definition of "here" -

Thanks! Hoping in the invisible hand of the market to come up with something turnkey 😅
The closest to that right now is probably https://micro.blog
It hosts your website, supports ActivityPub natively, and can also cross-post to Twitter

@aaronpk what is the value in this over my own Pleroma or Masto instance? Or my webfinger implementation
That's a good question. I'd say, running your own Mastodon instance is a real commitment to upkeep and software updates. Also you probably don't want your actual home page to be the mastodon landing page, so you'd run it on an alternate domain or a subdomain, neither of which are ideal IMO.
As for the WebFinger route, that's only a halfway solution because the posts themselves live on your shared mastodon domain not your own. It's not terrible tho. -

@aaronpk I read through https://aaronparecki.com/tag/activitypub some, but would be curious to read more about your setup sometime. Your site has often been an inspiration for me to experiment with various ideas. I’ve also been wondering what a list/circle based federation client would look like 🤔
Thanks! I realized I haven't actually written about this whole setup recently, but I do have a few older posts that describe how everything is connected. I'm probably due for a new blog post to talk more about this!
