It's not clear to me the difference between #follow and #subscribe here on #mastodon 🤔 In doubt, I am activating them both, but I'm sure there's a difference I am not quite catching 😅 #newby
Following is a standard Mastodon feature, you follow as usual just like you'd do on Twitter. The followed person gets notified. Or if it needs approval, needs to approve before you can actually follow.
Subscribe doesn't notify the person, doesn't need approval, and you can only see their public toots. You won't see their follower-only posts. It's a Qoto-specific feature.
