@britt

Can you or someone else please explain to me what the advantage of being on a different server is?

I'm still learning #Mastodon, but it seems to me that if you follow certain hashtags you will pull posts from any server?

What am I missing?

@Strider @britt
Differences in content are in the "Local" area (menu on the right of he screen) where you will see others on your server.

Some features differ between servers (some have deepl or google translate integration, some allow more than 500 characters, etc.)

Performance might differ.

The admins might make different decisions regarding blocking other servers or banning users based on questionable toots.

Not sure if I missed anything

Thank you. Google Translate integration is something I'd like. How do I identify if a server has this functionality?

@Strider I believe this is server dependent feature. depending on the version of Mastodon they’re running plus any API’s they’ve integrated to support google translate.
