What would happen to your timeline if mastodon.social went away?
(Reposting my tool that helps you figure this out.)
mastodon.social is the biggest server on the #fediverse , with over 21% of accounts, and an even higher percentage of #Mastodon accounts.
But what does that mean to you, personally? Let's say it went away tomorrow - (assuming you aren't on it yourself), how much of your timeline would vanish?
In my case, it turns out - not a lot, actually! The biggest sources of posts that I see are (1) a very small instance that doesn't even federate with much of the Fediverse, but many of my friends are there, (2) my own instance, (3) a large tech-focused instance that is still much smaller than mastodon.social. The big guy is only 5% of the post I've seen recently.
But this might be different for you!

@atsuzaki Look you followed someone on MATHstodon you can't be surprised when I launch two concurrent threads counting up in 1% increments

@ricci That's fascinating since mastodon.social is the highest in my followers/followed accounts, but doesn't appear on the posts I see until number 7 and doesn't show up in the original posts list at all.
(also hilariously someone I follow on beige.party went on a posting spree I guess, beige.party is my number one with 142 posts and she is 47 of them as the top poster I've seen in the last day)
Do you know if it counts replies as "original posts" since they aren't boosts?

I have it blocked.
Fewer trolls. Fewer spammers. Fewer people who are only on Mastodon to sell stuff.

It hits Mastodon's timelines/home API endpoint:
... which should be exactly what your home timeline shows:
https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/timelines/#home
(ie. replies in some cases, I've never exactly figured out the behavior, seems to show them if you follow both the replier and who they are replying to?)

@ricci Wow, I got a *lot* of dead instances in the Followers/Following stats, but well kind of expected given how long my instance has been there (2018) and how long I've been on fedi (2013).
But otherwise m.s isn't in the top 10 of my timeline:
