LastrangaAre not all instances connected to eachother? Have I done done something wrong in my setup? #mastodon #mastodontips #mastodon101
Instant Replay Live@Lastranga They are not! That's kinda the idea - people can create private instances, even you could if you had a server for it.
@InstantReplayLive ok! Im slowly starting to understand. But what determines the scope of a search say #Pixelart for example? What determines how many instances I will get results from?
^^@Lastranga @InstantReplayLive when a user follows someone from another instance, the new instance joins the known network of the first instance
also the administrators can ban instances from their known networks if they're not ok with their rules for exemple
searching #pixelart will only show you toots from the know network of mastodon.cloud
