Amanda Kasscan anyone see this? ...i have no clue how this thing works :/
nkrishnan@amanda_kass yes! Three sets of overlapping people: those who follow you, those on your server, those on servers that have at least one user who follows you.
@nkrishnan how can i see toots from just people follow? ....lol and what's the server?
civicwhitaker@amanda_kass @nkrishnan my cheat code was finding a person who was an earlier adopter than me - and then following all the people I knew
AJ ☠️@amanda_kass @nkrishnan Welcome! Mastodon is not a single website. To use it, you need to make an account with a provider—we call them servers—that lets you connect with other people across Mastodon. https://joinmastodon.org/servers Also check out:

@amanda_kass your server is where you have a mastodon account (yours appears to be https://mstdn.party, there are thousands of these). Therefore others who also signed up on mstdn.party, or anyone on any other server who “follows” you (just like on Twitter) as well as anyone on servers where at least one other person follows you can potentially see your tooots.
@amanda_kass The first set will see your posts on their “home” timeline. The second set will see your posts on their “local” timeline and the third set will see your posts on their “federated” timeline. How these timelines are displayed and what they are called vary from app to app.
