Peter Drake, he/him, LFHCfS 🔥 @peterdrake@social.cleverlibre.org

@nprandchill More specifically:

I'm person A, on server a. I follow person B on server b.

Clearly, I'll see B's posts in my Home timeline. I'm interested in this conversation. Perhaps I exchange messages with B.

But now person C (who I do not follow), on server c, replies to B, not tagging me.

How will I see C's reply without drinking from the firehose of the federated timeline?

@paul @anathem @Gargron No, I wasn't able to pull this off.

@rastinza It's a place to discover things, but the signal-to-noise ratio is low. There's also some really vile stuff in there if your instance has a loose federation policy.

@goeland86 Glad to see you're living the dream!

It might be a good idea to add #introduction #introductions and pin your post.

#3GoodThings

1. Took a good chunk out of the pile of work I was dreading.
2. Accomplished my first shaky two club #juggling exchanges.
3. Jaipur with @htdrake

@BlackAzizAnansi Yes! #oregon has a wonderful vote-by-mail system.

@ezpy @wood See previous toot for reason.

@ezpy mastodon.art doesn't federate with qoto, because qoto "federates with instances that violate our ToS/CoC such as Gab, Kiwifarms.cc, freespeechextremist.com, etc."

As I understand it, "not federating" means:

- people on the different servers can't follow each other
- posts from one won't show up in the other's global timeline

You can still see posts on the other server by searching for hashtags, and you can still *subscribe* to people on the other one. I *think* this makes it impossible to have a conversation across non-federation border.

It's a bummer that I can't follow people on mastodon.art from #qoto (and I assume they can't follow me). Not quite enough to make me migrate yet because I can at least subscribe to them.

@jalefkowit I can see how this ends from the toot just above it.
