Thanks to Lou I came across Followgraph this evening.1 It’s a cool little utility that uses publicly available info to look at who you are following on Mastodon and then it suggests people to follow based off of a couple of criteria: 1) you aren’t following them and 2) you have followers that are following them. A list based on follower overlap is then created.
What’s great about it (beyond being a util not leaning into LLMs when they aren’t necessary) is that it helps you find people you thought you were following but actually weren’t.
A quick scroll revealed several people I thought I followed but actually didn’t. I think what had to have happened is that they are people regularly boosted so I see many of the posts anyways. My bad.
The scroll also revealed more people that looked like would be fun to follow as well (which I’m working on doing!).
Wanting to update your follow list? Check out Followgraph for some help doing it!
