The most unfortunate feature of Mastodon is that you can't see many posts outside of the instance that you're on. Not such a big deal if you're on mastodon.social with most of the other people, but it's brutal if you're elsewhere. Possibly a value-killer. GnuSocial seems to handle this better? I'm not certain about the parameters of the behavior in either case. @Gargron
@sonya @Gargron I'm curious if that's more an issue with the load issues mastodon.social is seeing (since that's the majority of posts) versus an actual design issue.
