malki !Still trying to figure out the relevance of being in a certain instance vs. another. If I understand right, mastodon.social is "nothing specific, most people are here" and then mastodon.xyz is the one that's "nothing specific except we ban hate speech" ?
Jess Fink@malki there's also a .art and I'm like...should I be there instead?? It probably doesn't matter too much
@JessFink I just registered @wondermark for posting comics. Once we all figure out what's going on here maybe there'll be a mass migration to one of the other instances?
@JessFink oh it didn't show up in text - that account is on mastodon dot art
Tom McHenry@tommchenry @JessFink yeah as I understand it you can follow anyone you want (from any instance) but your master timeline of all users only shows the instance you're on, so if you want to see toots from strangers then you might want to be on the instance related to whatever subculture or group you prefer
@JessFink @tommchenry But maybe there will be a way in the future to also "follow" an entire instance so you can see the other timelines? like subscribing to different subreddits, kinda
