if any newbs are confused about what all these different timelines mean:
Home: people you follow
Local: all of Switter
Federated: all of Switter, PLUS anyone from *any other instance on Mastodon* who follows one of us. (basically, the more we interact with normies outside of the Switterverse, the more people we'll get connected to, so don't sleep on that Federated TL! try to be friendly & social to the civvies so we can broaden our reach within the greater Fediverse.)

correction: the Federated TL is Switter + people on other instances that Switter users follow. (not the other way around as i said. confusing, i know, but it essentially boils down to this: we are gonna start appearing in normie TLs/instances the more we interact, so let's be respectful of Mastodon's non-SW communities and make sure our bits are covered/marked sensitive before posting them. it's not censorship, it's consent, which is v sexy imo.) #themoreyouknow 🤓🌈🌟💚
@omgheatherjana So all of the furries, artists, witches, anarchists, communists, queer folks, hackers, etc on mastodon are "normies" now that the sex workers have arrived. 🤣 😉
But seriously, yes, I have a "normie" job and sometimes check mastodon form the office so correct tagging of #nsfw is appreciated.
Welcome to mastodon! Hope you like it here! 🍍
@sharp lol true, Mastodon is fully of brilliant unconventional progressive weirdos, that's kinda why i love it here so much! i prob shoulda used "civvies" which is what we call civilians/non-SWers but i figured more people would understand the former. 😂✌💋
