Dr. Brandy SchillaceI’ve heard folks say ‘server/instance doesn’t matter’ —but it must, or we would not have them. I’d just like a basic break down of what they do for us, really. How to use them.
chris@bschillace well, to an extent it doesn’t matter any more than it matters who your email provider is. Whether you are with your ISP, Google, Yahoo, iCloud - will get through. However some email providers are more reliable than others. And some have a bad reputation for spam, so if you are sending mail, it may get rejected. That’s the ‘Federated feed’ Unlike e-mail, there is also the separate local feed. Some servers have clusters of common interest on them …
@bschillace … which gives you immediate accesss to knitters or rock climbers or coders. If you are a knitter, knitter.mastodon might well be worth joining 😃
