I don't even know what I'm doing here. What's the difference between a "follow" and a "remote follow"? And why do pages keep making Star Trek references?
@AlisonHudson I think a "follow" is someone from your local timeline. "Remote follow" would be someone from another timeline - a "federated timeline".
And I think the Star Trek references are because of the use of the word " federated" like the Federation from Star Trek.
Hi! I'm new here too.
@shuntley Thanks for the explanation. I guess I'm not used to this sort of decentralized setup yet.
(And yeah, Star Trek thing was a bad attempt at humor :D )
@AlisonHudson haha, should have caught it!
