Since there are no algorithms on Vivaldi Social and on Mastodon in general that show content based on your usage, you need to follow people and tags to build up a feed 100% curated by you. Thanks to the federated nature of Mastodon, you can follow accounts from any Mastodon instance with your account on Vivaldi Social.
Follow accounts
To follow accounts on Vivaldi Social:
Option 1
- Open the profile of the account you want to follow.
- Click on the Follow button on their profile, below the cover image on the right side.
Option 2
- Search for the username (@Username@InstanceName) of the account you want to follow.
- In search results, click on
Follow next to the name.
In addition to user accounts you can also follow tags.
To follow a tag:
- Click on a tag (e.g. #Vivaldi, #Caturday, #PhotoMonday) in one of the posts that includes it or search for the tag.
