@motxrobitis_brunva heya! I've moved to @sonya but if you want to chat there I'm happy to point you in the direction of helpful resources :)
@dra your bio actually really threw me for a loop
Neon*slow realization that I should've just started my own mastodon instance to dodge the inevitable need to change instances sometime in the future*
shel💯@sonya your federated timeline is every user followed by every user on your instance. The larger an instance gets the more it's federated timeline grows. Afaik this is how t works on gnusocial too just their nodes have had more time to reach out and link up with more users. Some even have bots that follow every user they find to link up the instances faster
🏴☠️🏴☠️KODO🏴☠️🏴☠️PSA if you're on a small instance follow tonnes of people that aren't on your instance so the federated timeline is better populated.
Sonya Mann ✅Per @kodo's discussion with Gargron, a person's posts only make it to the federated timeline if someone on your instance is following that person. IMO this is a design flaw — it encourages centralization on one big instance (so that you can see entire conversations and find new people easily) even more than it encourages cross-instance links.
@maiyannah @kodo I have mixed feelings. I like that communities have autonomy... but I would prefer if it were a user-based choice. like I could choose to not see a given instance's posts on .social if I wanted to, instead of .social making that decision for me

Chris Martin@chaotic_signals @kodo @sonya @maiyannah This seems like "I can't read Twitter conversations because Twitter has decided half the participants are 'low-quality'" all over again.
