Molly jong-fastI’m having a lot of anxiety that I’m on the wrong server But Can’t figure out how to change
Nathan 🏳️🌈@mollyjongfast There's no wrong server. You have access to the same posts as anyone on any other server. What's specific to Mastodon.lol is we block Nazi/racist/transphobic servers so you don't see those users and they can't interact with you. That's it.
daezer@nathan @mollyjongfast how do I search and follow people on other servers, if I’m on this one? And do I see their posts in my feed here?
@daezer @mollyjongfast Click on my name and you'll see a follow button. If your know their full username (e.g. @[email protected]) you can search for that, or you can try searching for just "@john" if you don't know the server.
Mastodon makes heavy use of hashtags so that's a good way to find new people to follow, and the Federated timeline is posts from people on other servers.
Posts from anyone you follow will show on your feed no matter which server they're on.
