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

  @Aaron Parecki I just came back after a few days, just to find almost 1,700 new posts in my stream. And I don't even have that many followers.
  
  But some of them keep sending me threads that explode with hundreds of replies.

  Thanks! Hoping in the invisible hand of the market to come up with something turnkey 😅

  @aaronpk I’m starting to fear this will be true for us all.
  But everyone here is nice, right?

  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.

  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

  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 is it the content you're seeing or just the obligation to catch up?

  @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.
