So Librem Social is a little different from the typical Mastodon experience. As a truly opt-in social network, they've turned off the local and federated timelines in their fork (smilodon). This has caused me 1) to ignore this platform for a long time, and now 2) to really rethink how I approach social media. I've used Mastodon in the past for content discovery (e.g., join a FOSS server, learn about FOSS, etc) and it's still great for that. But Librem Social will require a different strategy...
