This made me think. We are mutual Followers, your posts appear in my timeline, but I did not see them. I follow some 800 accounts, so this is unavoidable. The timeline is always full, and even if one attends to it regularly (as I do), posts come and go before you know it.

Is that necessarily bad?

I do try to manage the flow through lists and such, actively looking out for posts in certain areas, but ultimately the flow is the flow.

I realise that we must cherish this randomness, not regret it.

I carefully select whom I follow, so I can trust my timeline. I dip into the timeline when I am free, all posts are from trusted friends (or their boosts). I enjoy the posts i see, I engage with them and let things happen.

Inevitably I will miss posts, possibly important posts. That is not a weakness of the process, it is a sign of the richness of the flow. An abundance of trusted messages.

We must enjoy and celebrate the randomness.

Nachdem ich nun eine PeerTube-Instanz gefunden habe, dachte ich mir, ich nehme doch mal schnell ein kurzes Video auf für die neuen User, die sich das erste Mal bei einer bestehenden Friendica-Instanz registrieren und dann vor einer leeren Timeline stehen...


Das Video gibt es bei clip.place, einer PeerTube-Instanz und darf gerne geteilt werden.
