follow some of the bigger hashtags to get input, from there you can branch out and follow specific accounts (and unfollow the original hashtags if you want).
a few bigger ones are bloomscrolling caturday mastoart photography silentsunday fensterfreitag
Right, but hashtags only show posts on my instance which at the moment is just me.
hmm apologies, I didn't realize that personal instances were like that. I'm on pixelfed.de so I just shared what worked for me a few days ago.
I'm guessing you could search for a few accounts on various servers to follow directly who post with those hashtags to get the ball rolling?
Yeah, but that's the thing. You can only search if you know the exact username of the user on the other server. But you can't find usernames on other servers without creating an account there.
I wish it was more like Lemmy where you can browse other instances without an account at that instance.
if you feel ok sharing your pixel then I cab follow you there, might give you an in?

followed :) hope it works
Thanks!
Though I appear to be having trouble having people follow me from other servers. I don't see you in my followers list, and when I tried following a test account on another server, I didn't see their posts. Not sure what's going on. Does it just take a while for the servers to sync?
Do you see any of my posts?
I have these same issues with mine. Checking the logs shows the requests are coming through but nothing updates, which is annoying. I’m at my wits’ end!
After experiencing several other bugs I’m thinking of calling it quits and giving it time to mature a bit.
I think it may take some time to sync up. Cannot see your posts (yet). I sent you a Welcome msg as dm, did you get that?
Yep. nothing yet.
still nothing on my side. Not sure if that indicates problems with you instance config or something else..
Yeah, I think it works fine-ish for a single instance, but federation needs work.
