p.p.s. For people wondering why mas.to is better option than mastodon.social, here are some figures:

mastodon.social currently has ~20% of active Fediverse accounts

mas.to currently has ~1% of active Fediverse accounts

Mastodon.social is just so much larger than other servers and keeps growing, it is putting the network itself in danger.

I totally get the idea of having a single suggested server, but we need to regularly rotate which single server is suggested so we spread growth out.

I have subscribed to several interesting hashtags but since I get very little traffick in mas.to I suspect it is the server. Not the hashtag.

Can I somehow follow the hashtags from another server than my own? @FediTips@social.growyourown.services

@luupilotti@mas.to Hi! I guess that's what groups are for. @FediTips@social.growyourown.services has also a website covering them here https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-groups-on-the-fediverse/
Hope this helps. I also migrated to a smaller server using the guide lately and it was very easy.

Good initiative but to get larger population to the fedi instead of just us nerds, this implementation has several usability flaws.

Firstly, users would need to understand how the system technically works to be able to find posts and get visibility. This is a far fetch.

The traffic mainly depends on what the tags are, mas.to has good connections to the Fediverse and should be getting as much as you could typically get.

But as Frankie says, groups are a way of getting exactly the same traffic on all servers. You can find more info in the link they gave (https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-groups-on-the-fediverse/).

I would advise following as many tags and groups as you can until you are seeing the amount of content you want.
