Kale New folks coming through the door, please be aware there's an option to content-warning tag your toots and it's fucking beautiful
Also, hello, hi
Also to explain some concepts (as I see them):
Your HOME TIMELINE - is your toots + your friends toots + whatever they Boost (which is RTs)
Your LOCAL TIMELINE - is all the toots that are on your instance (server!)
Your FEDERATED TIMELINE - is all the toots that are on your federation (clump of instances)
Yes, you CAN talk to other people on other instances, but you need to address them in full, which includes their instance name
Like this, for one of my fav folks:
Also: Local timeline is gonna get hectic, and while the vibe is kinda nice now, expect it to be... hrmmm... maybe when the site increases - so apply mutes a lot
Also Also: when I got here yesterday people were putting politics/emotionally heavy stuff under content warnings and it was a lovely polite thing to do that I'd encourage thanks
Worthless Bums
