@piezzo heya. so there's probably 3 timelines you're looking at:

federated - this shows off public toots from all servers that kbin.social knows about. lotta stuff in here, it pretty much never stops

local - toots from people on the kbin.social server

home - tools from people you're following (this'll be near dead at the start)

i'd recommend you scroll thru federated or local for a while, and find interesting people to follow

@mightyweasel These are good tips for Mastodon users, but the thread starter @piezzo uses #kbin. That GUI and settings look different.
