This is your reminder that the heart of the Fedi isn't one person. It's all the people who BOOST the posts they think are important.
There's no algorithm here to tell you which posts you should be paying attention to. That's YOUR JOB. So BOOST the things you love. BOOST the things you think are important. And BOOST the posts that make your heart laugh.
The Fediverse needs YOU to BOOST.
@Mrfunkedude I came here to boost toots and find #mitchmcconnell, and I'm getting stonewalled by the morgue, so back to boosting toots i suppose

I try to regularly boost a few interesting things but not too much out of fear of floading my followers with random stuff.
(A few of us are looking for another word to replace the word follower which we find a little pretentious.)
Slightly long winded response to explain my suggestion, as to what to call your followers, apologies.
When I first joined the Fediverse, I learned it was like a massive campsite, the server is your group of tent(s), and you hear all the local chat around the local campfire.
You can link up with tents anywhere else, and hear their chat too, but you have to go find those people first (for example by using hashtags)...

@Mrfunkedudeor rely on your campfire mates to boost.
Therefore I suffer propose the term "camp mates" for followers!
Sorry for the ramble!

@Mrfunkedude @MichelPatriceWith camp mates, there is the idea of togetherness, but how to call the one who follows you without being followed by you?

Focus.
I give you my focus.
You give me yours.
We both know focus moves and leaps and does many things more as well.
Focus over time is a swirl.
I swirl through feeds of relevant interest.
Focus with regular update passes is a scan.
I scan for updates in a feed, while on a swirl, or across categories of interest.
Humanity is an ocean of dynamics and act no differently than any other focal force over time.
(A glance at how I view things.) 🪔

Following hashtags is far superior to boosting. It puts things in your feed where you want them, not on your page where you want your own stuff featured, not other peoples.

Yes, this is a real movie poster, and yes, this is a real movie. I just thought it felt fitting here.

@Mrfunkedude@beige.party
https://about.fedigroups.social/directory is also a good way to keep in touch.
Hashtags for non Misskey users, antennas for Misskey users (custom timelines, you cannot follow hashtags on Misskey as such).
The down side to boosting is many people will mute boosts. -

@Mrfunkedude That movie slapped. I really dog votes Boots Riley as a film maker.
