I’d like to be able to transfer followers and those I’m following 🤗

Or alternatively, does anyone know how I can see those I follow across the whole federation on Metatext or Mastodon apps? Currently, on the ‘Federated’ tab, Metatext shows me primary posts from lots of people I don’t follow,(rather than posts or boosts from those I do follow)

@DrLygo also not entirely obvious but the federated tab is showing you posts that "your instance" knows about, based on what other instances it has connected to or hashtags have been followed, this won't actually be "everything" everwhere.
I wonder if there's a decent description online that's going to be better than mine.
(aside: ditching the 'official' Mastodon app is worth doing anyway, since it lags behind all the others for features and functionality)

@DrLygo so if you're on instance A, and someone on instance B posts to a hashtag, instance A won't necessarily know about it unless it is already communicating with instance B (by relay or following someone)
Similarly it won't pull in historical information (at the moment)
(Having said this, my knowledge of how the subscriptions and message distribution works is still very limited I haven't fully understood how it's built yet)
