	* First, you can post and subscribe to hashtags. This is currently the best way to find particular conversations. For example you could look at or post to #fediverse to find others interested in that topic. Most commonly #introductions is used to describe briefly what you are interested in, that way people can follow you. We recommend that you write such an #introductions post so that some of us can boost you for visibility.		* First, you can post and subscribe to hashtags.

	* The second strategy is to make use of both the 'Local' and 'Federated'/'Global' timelines. The local one shows all posts written by people on post.lurk.org. The 'Global' timeline shows all posts by people followed by people on post.lurk.org but who are themselves on a different part of the network.		* The second strategy is to make use of both the 'Local' and 'Federated'/'Global' timelines.

			* The third strategy is to make use of external tools. One such option is [https://streetpass.social/ Street Pass], a browser extension that automatically collects profiles of fediverse users as you browse the web. Another option is to use [https://fedidevs.com/starter-packs/ Starter Packs], which are collections of accounts that you can automatically follow.

	Due to a recent changes in Mastodon, new users do not follow automatically the admins of the instance by default.

	'''In addition to those we have another option (the chain link) which makes your posts not federate, meaning they are only visible on post.lurk.org.''' This is specific to the modified version of Mastodon that we run. This is not a feature that you will find in the vast majority of other Mastodon instances. We think this is an interesting feature because we believe that not all conversations/posts should be broadcasted to the whole network. It helps develop the local subculture within LURK, get to know and trust each other, and provide a safer space for private jokes or difficult conversations.
