@chopaganda Wow. It just got a lot clearer. Good find.
@chopaganda And if android is your thing, Tusky seems to be a client that most resembles a Twitter timeline.. also much easier to move around to follow as opposed to the various versions of mastodon apps
@chopaganda do I have to use 2 apps or what?

@Footiusmaximus just Metatext on iOS or if you’re on Android, Tusky @Neddyo

This allows you to flip easily between:

- your feed of those you follow (think friends and follows from Twitter)

- all the banter on the local server for when you feel like it

- the Federated feed for discovering good content from other servers

@Neddyo @chopaganda I like it. Just downloaded and worked seamlessly

@Footiusmaximus @Neddyo Understanding and using the 3 feeds seems to be key to the whole experience — at least in my 48 hours on this site.

I don’t think anyone truly understands what Mastodon should or will become, and it’s not going to takeoff fully until something really bad happens to Twitter. But there’s certainly a lot of promise of this doing all the things we go to Twitter for—only without the evil.

@chopaganda @Footiusmaximus @Neddyo Think this Tusky will work better for me. 🙏
@chopaganda @Footiusmaximus @Neddyo Do you have to set up different accounts to change instances?
@Footiusmaximus @SunshineDaydream @Neddyo not sure what you mean. Maybe @sethadam1 can help?
@Neddyo @chopaganda @SunshineDaydream @Footiusmaximus can you explain? You can switch between accounts in these accounts.
@sethadam1 @chopaganda @SunshineDaydream @Neddyo @Footiusmaximus What’s the difference between an instance and a server? Is it common for people to have multiple accounts in different servers based on different interests?
@Neddyo @Ludicculus @chopaganda @Footiusmaximus @SunshineDaydream a server hosts an instance. They're interchangeable for most people in most cases.
@sethadam1 @Neddyo @chopaganda @Footiusmaximus 🙈 I'm not sure I understand my own question but I gather that's a "yes"? Set up different accounts for different for instances, but then switch between them to change local?
Like a different account if I am want to hangout with the activists, and another to hang with the journos/writers?
(That's probably better than the bird where non-jamband people got all my show posts and Phish peeps got my political rantings. Though some are cool with both)
