Ok, I think it sucks that when you look at someone's profile, it only shows the number of followers and followed that correspond to YOUR instance. I know people that have a lot of followers/followed already, but ONLY show a count of ONE and just me! (Grumpy old man mode off)
My neighborhood has better uptime than yours! ;)
@kaydub Can you Toot from your Airstream?! :)
TFW you cringe as you go through a yellow/red light to avoid slamming on your brakes, and then glance in your rear view mirror to see 3 more cars go through AFTER you! :open_mouth:
If you're new on Mastodon, take 5 minutes to the official Mastodon User Guide. It'll explain stuff.

WHOA GOOD MORNING, I actually remembered this was a thing!
Do you guys remember Plurk? This feels very much like how Plurk felt back in the day.
She says it's supper time!
I didn't know it worked like this, but the federated view only shows the toots of people followed by others on your instance. So people on other instances that are not followed by anyone on your instance don't show up there. I somehow assumed it just showed everything.
For everyone confused by the whole federation thing, trying to compare it to Twitter... Forget Twitter. Think e-mail. You can choose between different e-mail providers on different domains or even host your own server instance. Then you can communicate across those instances with other users on them.
No, it doesn't make sense to "claim" your nickname everywhere. Yes, you should choose the server wisely because all your data reside on that server without an easy way to migrate them...
don't look! Show more
If someone helps you understand Mastodon, are they a "toot'er"?
Ok guys, very funny.

INTRO TO FEDERATION:
1. "mastodon" is a piece of software that runs on a server. There's a lot of servers that run it & u can follow ppl on other servers.
2. When u follow someone from another server, your server receives their toots.
3. The federated TL is all public toots that the server receives, ie all of the toots from everyone that ppl on your server follow.
4. ERGO: if u want to see more toots in the fed TL, follow + get other ppl on your server to follow ppl from other servers!
#Amaroq for Mastodon v1.0.3 update: The servers have finally stabilized enough. Yay! Thanks @Gargron :3 Small but important update. Fixes a crash from trying to report statuses in the timeline. Also adds the mute list and notification settings in the More tab, among other tweaks.

Still working on navigation changes for a larger release but we may see another smaller one with support for follow requests soon. Thanks for all your patience and fantastic feedback 💕
Just posting to see my own avatar. (I'm vain like that)
Is this thing on? :wink:
