(Chris Davis)@tootroll @RikerGoogling it's more like a dump truck I think
Soozcat@RikerGoogling Very well
Northbaybanter@RikerGoogling First rule about Mastodon Club is don’t talk about Mastodon Club.
Sally Emm@RikerGoogling what’s nice is that so many of us get to figure that out together 🥹

Olav Folland@RikerGoogling when two servers really love each other...
Osamu@olavf @RikerGoogling 🤣🤣🤣 this is the correct answer
Bokonon_Lives@RikerGoogling Our quantum destabilizer can breach the temporal anomaly by sending a tachyon pulse through the deflector dish using the warp core as a conversion matrix.
It's like feeding your cat a pastrami sandwich on rye.
ventolin@RikerGoogling I don't know exactly but probably is easier than how a warp drive works.
Dennis Ryan Storoshenko@RikerGoogling Mastodon is controlled by three primary main processing cores, cross-linked with a redundant melacortz ramistat fourteen kiloquad interface modules. The core element is based on an FTL nanoprocessor with twenty five bilateral kelilactirals, with twenty of those being slaved into the primary heisenfram terminal.
Whats Up Eh! 
@exolinguist @RikerGoogling I heard the seventeen kiloquad interface modules were better, prime quality.
savagejen@RikerGoogling yessssss

Now you do know what a bilateral kelilactiral is?

In case this is a legit question… :)
It works more intuitively in the Metatext app (for iOS), I feel. There, you can easily move between Mastodon’s 3 feeds.m, unlike in Mastodon’s native app.
Home: folks you follow
Local: folks on your server
Federated: everyone (like Twitter)
(I’ve heard the Tusky app on Android offers a similarly improved UI..?)
@RikerGoogling
Revision!
Federated isn’t “everyone” as I had thought. Alas.
Mastodon’s help page says:
“Federated: it shows all the posts of the members of your Instance and also the posts of people on other Instances that are followed by people of your Instance.”
Lydia Schoch@RikerGoogling I’m so glad you made it over here!
Pup Continuous 
@RikerGoogling quite well, thank you for asking
@RikerGoogling idk but this app ain’t shi compared to Twitter, I’ve yet to see any good content, the whole servers thing is a bloody mess and stupid with incredibly limited interests available
lunarhiccups@RikerGoogling if you figure it out please explain
Lee@RikerGoogling
Well enough for now

BD Coach & ADHD brain -Saskia@RikerGoogling Try searching for posts that have #Feditips #newbie or #MastodonUserManual or #MastodonQuestion in them
Professor Charles Haas@RikerGoogling As someone who grew up in the days of #USENET , this is highly reminiscent --- federated yet aggregated, with I am sure are delays between exchanges amongst servers.
