   @Richard good. First night of the week, and nobody (relative term) was there.

   As far as I'm concerned, the first night of a carnival is a high-risk high-reward gamble.

   Pro: If people don't know it's there yet, there will be a smaller crowd.

   Con: Carnies just set up their shit, so odds of malfunction and horrific death are probably higher on the first night.

   @atomicpoet @fediversenews I'm thinking about it for the micro instance I run, but I'm concerned about it being labour intensive, as my public account for work stuff is on there.

   As it is, I block servers (etc) the users (all four of them) might not want, and unblock them if they want me to.

   #mastotips I've heard from a few folks that getting started in the fediverse is hard. They sign up and... nothing shows up. That's exactly right! There is no algorithm to get you started. Instead:
   1. Follow as many people as you can
   2. Look at who they follow and pick up a few more
   3. Follow a few hashtags to bring in new stuff.

   It'll take a few weeks but hang in there.

   As a #UX person, it pains me to put this burden on YOU, we could do better here!

   @manlycoffee I mean, anybody can make a redirect from some URL to the actor representation. It's not my responsibility to make sure you used the actor ID to get there.

   As long as the `id` is an https: URL that returns an Activity Streams 2.0 representation of the actor, it's a valid ActivityPub identifier.

   Whether or not it's a valid *actor* is trickier. We don't have firm rules in AP, but generally you need at least an inbox; usually an outbox; and probably following/followers.
