@feditips Thank you. I most definitely need to look at these. Right now I am just wandering aimlessly, it's all so different from Twitter - I even failed at uploading my profile/header pic... I will sort it out though, lol, I've literally only been here two minutes.

@Sam_Walker @feditips when I joined the server was slow because of these kinds of sudden waves of people joining, if it doesn’t work then don’t give up and try again later— things will settle down

@Sam_Walker @feditips you aren’t alone. Fellow addled wanderer here reeling from the lack of a curated timeline. Hopefully we will figure this all out

@feditips hey, is there a way I can temporarily visit other servers? I want to find people to follow in different communities. I’m using metatext, which I heard has that function but I can’t find it?

@astrally
Hi astral, hi am pretty new but my understanding is that if you are searching by #HashTags or in #Comments that search will be across all #Federated servers and it seems (imho) to be the best way to find new people

In metatext (no experience of it) there will be a option to view everything on your instance (server) or everything posted on all federated instances

Try #Feditips if still stuck use loads of #HashTags
#Metatext #help #Newbie

@astrally @feditips when you add a server you have an option to browse its local timeline instead of signing in or up. If it’s not available, then it means the instance you want to browse forbids it.
Show threadStefan ですDec 16, 2022
@astrally Toot! by @tootapp allows you to add multiple instances to browse their local timelines without logging in. Then if you want to interact with a post on another instance, it asks you which account to use for the interaction. Pretty nicely done I think.

@feditips really not getting the instances thing but I’m struggling along using hashtags. That will have to do. I’m not techie so there’s that.
Show threadDerick RethansDec 16, 2022

@janescanlan

Instances are like email servers. You have the big "free" ones like mastodon.social or mastodon.uk, but also company, community, and personal ones such as phpc.social. And hopefully soon news organisations have their own too.

https://mattbrown.dev/mastodon/ explains it better, and is a lot nicer looking 🙂

@feditips do you know of an easier way to follow someone than to actually search for them? I can’t find an option to follow someone once I’ve found their profile through any other means than directly searching for them. There is no follow option in the drop down menus or visible on the post? Am I missing something?
Show threadRexRacer1974Dec 16, 2022
@feditips Thanks for this helpful info. I'm brand new and trying to find accounts I had previously followed on twitter. When I do a search, I often get multiple suggestions for the same site (see below). Do I need to follow all of them to get the full content? And why are so many of them empty? Could they be fakes? #findingmywayaround
