@moridin yeah it's kind of confusing. It's like email in that you have one way to refer to yourself, but you can subscribe to users on different servers quite easily.

@moridin So you don't need to join another server, per se, unless you want to switch your home server. That would be for reasons like you don't like their moderation or the server is dying or you just want a different "local" timeline. But finding people on other mastodon instances isn't so bad. You just have to refer to them with "@[email protected]" - in our case since we are on mstdn, you would have to go to, for instance, https://mstdn.social/@ProPublica@newsie.social
