@kaniini you seem experienced with this - if I were to run my own instance, could I get a curated feed of specific instances I want to 'follow'?
Would that be the Federated timeline for my instance?
@dk no, the federated timeline is based on what your local users follow + like + boost
@kaniini okay, thanks. So how do you interact with octodon.social and other instances you want to be a part of WHILE running your own instance?
@kaniini alright, now to googling! thanks.
it works through a protocol called ActivityPub, and another protocol called WebFinger.
