@kensanata IMHO it is not a problem for new instances - it' s the problem of new users who didn't understand the principle of the #Fediverse that THEY have to do something at first - to join others - before there is something in the TL.

@kensanata After starting a new instance the *admin* should follow a lot ofusers on different instances in the network - so the messages can be seen in the network view. As admin on my own instance I try to follow "all" so their messages are imported.

@burunghantu @kensanataΒ "That is against any web usability principle". Well, who did this "principle" and where can we find it. Seems to be a qite weak argument to hide behind "principals".Β
Do you really know Mastodon and others? Every instance has a local and a federated timeline. There you find a lot of traffic a s new user and there you can follow others.Β
"Instances rely on users". Of course - what else? The activity is based on the messages from the users - nothing else.

@burunghantu "Is an instance admin supposed to follow all its users so they see content?" Not of his instance, they are in the local timeline.
"Connecting users with each other should be easier." Of course - that is the goal. But admins have more than this duty. If they want to get traffic in the federated timeline after installing a fresh new instance without any own users yet, it's a good thing to start to follow users in the network. @kensanata

@burunghantu " I've started my instance only a week ago". I got it. An admin with (a lot of) experience would help his new users and would explain how to go on and would't claim "principals". Sorry to say.
