If you’re new to Mastodon and are among the #twitterrefugees - Welcome and glad you’re here.

This site seems to be much more hashtag driven. It also feels kinder if a bit clunkier. My guess is I’m a month we won’t remember #twitter

@mikemadrid Seeing you move to mastadon was enough for me to join 😄
@alireza @mikemadrid Alireza, I also joined because of Mike. But it can be hard to build your feed. The Mastodon app doesn't show the full fediverse, only your local feed (instance/server you're on and people you plugged in that you know their handle, like I did with Mike). I suggest using another app and not Mastodon if you are using your phone so you can see the full fediverse. I'm trying out Metatext on an iPhone.

@lindamae @alireza @mikemadrid

Does the phone app show the full Fediverse?

The Federated timeline is all the public posts from all the people being followed by the people on your instance.

I thought Search was the only way to see the full (public) Fediverse facilitated via hashtags. I could be mistaken.

@hinano @alireza On metatext I see 3 feeds/timelines. Home, which is my curated feed, Local, which is everyone on my instance, and federated which is a ton! Not sure who shows in federated, but it is a lot and definitely some unmoderated stuff (unwarned nudie pics) as the #twittermigration continues and mods try and keep up. I see toots from all kind of instances. I don't have many followers so I think it is everyone. Had to put in preferences to slow scroll- the speed of new toots is fast.
