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!
@d6 Thanks! I do have it, and it currently resolves to a few bytes of HTML. I'll let you know when I quit my job and start my electric-monk themed knowledge site.
@d6 A while back I got the uncontrollable urge to get electricmonk.science
@d6 I remember a time in the early 90s when there was no shame for having an @aol.com address. Maybe I'll feel that way re twitter one day...
