   Mastodon has been a little quiet lately for me.

   I wonder if there’s any Mastodon lore about what accounts do when users don’t use them?

   Do they wander off in search of John Mastodon, maybe?

     @lydiaschoch I don't know if this helps but two things:

     1) In my nearly year and a half on here that things were quiet until I followed about 80-100 people in my timeline + some good hashtags

     2) When I look at the back end for "dormant" accounts it is about 20% no matter how many people I follow. This is admittedly unscientific and I am not sure what to make of it but I find it interesting.

     Finally, putting people into lists has been a godsend. I actually catch a lot more through lists.
