Just have a look here: https://birdsitelive.fediverse.observer/list I found some instances that aren't saturated, but not every Birdsitelive instance works on every Mastodon instance. My suggestion is to follow a Birdsite profile that posts frequently and verify if you see the posts on the Mastodon you are on.

Amazing tips, thank you! ✌

I really want to use this really badly. But I don't want to overload your poor instance even more xD

[–] triplenadir@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago

I'm not running an instance, I'm overloading poor public ones πŸ™ˆ Soon, though! And even when heavily overloaded, posts seem to come through pretty quick.

I haven’t tried this yet but if it works, it’s groundbreaking.

I've used this tool and it usually works well, but all the public instances Ive found are really oversaturated and I'm too lazy to host my own.
