@skanman Tempting fate I see! 😋

@JamesHMcLaren .. what? 😋

@bykimbo @bluehazy That's good... right? 👀

@bykimbo @bluehazy

Oh yeah, I might want to add some clarification.

A boost is a retweet without quote, and only your followers get to see the boost. You can't add your own commentary (but you could comment to the post you boosted). The boosted person will get notified that their post got boosted to your followers.

Qoto has some extra features (as can be seen in https://qoto.org/about/more ) which inclues the quote.

A quote is a 'first post' (so if you quoted a comment, it won't be inside that conversation thread, it'll be its own toot with just that comment quoted in and some of your commentary above it), won't notify the quoted person, and will be sent to the whole Fediverse.

If you intended to have it as a response to the quoted person, I'd recommend the Reply instead to conserve the conversation thread.

Did I hopefully explain the difference somewhat coherently? 😅

@joseortiz Then you definitely are in the right place. 🙂

@bluehazy
I can answer 1 and 2 at the same time! 😅 They're basically retweets without quotes.

@joseortiz Excellent, welcome to Qoto and the Fediverse! Enjoy the ride! :)

@Spinybadger
The Phrazle I am playing is over at https://solitaired.com/phrazle which includes a few more variations in the same site which is nice.

I'm lately particularly fond of Octordle's rescue variant. Trying to see if you can still save the mess that gets presented. :)

@joseortiz Or might I have misread the implication of your sentence and you actually meant that you wanted a social media that differs from social media -that doesn't focus on- content and information? Heh, I could interpret it 2 ways, sorry.

@joseortiz Well, this particular server is a STEM-focused server, so there actually might be a lot of content and information in the local feed. 😅

Though probably not of the kind you encounter on Twitter.

@Kuun Als het een beschermd iets is, hoe kunnen ze daar dan op bouwen?

@roywasse
It does differ per instance. We have our house rules over at our About page at https://qoto.org/about/more so everybody should know what to expect on here.

The Federated timeline falls outside of our domain, and you might see some stuff you'd rather like to block (and I encourage you to do so if it upsets you).
Thankfully the users have good tools at their disposal and you can even block whole domains if that's full of not-so-nice peeps.

Hope your experience will continue to be pleasant here. 🙂

@Spinybadger Oh that's a nice addition to my growing list of word games... next to Waffle, Phrazle, Quordle, Octordle, and Sedecordle. 😅

@2ck A possibly better tip is to cancel right after starting the trial. I mean, the trial period will usually just end after the trial ends, not at moment of cancelling.

@bluehazy Well the comment is still the same from me. :D

If you get close, you won't have a very good saturday anymore! 😋

@JulienDelpierre Oh yes, and subscription is indeed a Qoto-only feature.

@JulienDelpierre Subscription is something different. That's when you want to follow someone without really following. Ok that sounded confusing.

Subscription is to follow someone without needing their approval, and without informing them. You can only see their public-only toots.

The add/remove from lists works with both subscriptions and following. If you only see a subscsription option, you weren't following in the first place. Gotta follow first in order to be able to rearrange where the followed person will appear.

@bluehazy Oh. Geese.

If you get close, you won't have a very good saturday anymore! 😋

@JulienDelpierre Yes, check out the lists feature. You can go to the user profile, click on the 3 dots and add/remove them to lists. Via this feature you can also remove them from the home timeline.
