Original clunky title: How do ActivityPub instances’ people initially find remote instances’ people/communities/channels/etc. to vary their feeds?
Given that an instance won’t see remote instance’s people and stuff to follow/subscribe to until someone there has found them and followed/subscribed…That’s generally how ActivityPub works, isn’t it?
Global feed. ‘All’ on Lemmy, ‘Federated timeline’ on Mastodon, etc., for established instances.
Trolling big instances and copying account URLs on clean instances.
Edit: Wanna tell me what’s wrong with that? Or are we just passive-aggressive and not worth talking to?
“Trolling big instances” sounds bad but I’m guessing that’s a typo/fishing metaphor. Or maybe someone read your tip as “go through your instance’s All feed” instead of “go through some other instance’s All feed and copy links”.
