Sometimes an account requires you to apply for following, and then they'll decide whether to allow you to or not.

But maybe you really like them even though they didn't allow you to follow them. So you can follow their public-only toots instead. Just as if you subscribed to an RSS reader. That way you can still read their latest cool stuff.

@bewildered You'll alway be able to see your own toots and replies in your home timeline.

Public toots you've made (not replies) will end up in public timelines like local and federated.

@volkan @bewildered

Following is the usual action, you follow a person, the followed person get a notification that you're following them, and you can see their follower-only posts.

Subscribing is a Qoto-only feature. You can 'follow' a person, but only see their public toots, and they won't get notified that you've subscribed. It's like an RSS feed.

@jamesnovak Heh yeah, this verification fiasco is turning out to be highly confusing!

Blink with your eyes if you're forced to say that by Minnie. 🕵️

All kidding aside, cats are great. ;)

@robert_gordon_ On a doggy blanket? ;)

@StroomAfwaarts I went with the latter... as an autist I'm free to take things quite literally. :P

@StroomAfwaarts Amazing! We must be long lost twins! 😂

On the other hand, Nerdle was indeed very easy today.

@StroomAfwaarts I was skeptical at first, seeing my stroke of luck lately, but you weren't kidding!

@Spinybadger Ahahahahahahaha! Oh yeah, know the feel! 😅

@gwr Yeah. Ah it happens, maybe next time I'll have more luck, or I'll *that one last word* something out of frustration! 😋

@Spinybadger
Lucky bastard. I could *that one last word* you right now for being so lucky. 😅 😋

@volkan Well, the federated timeline is universally regarded as a cesspool of sorts.

You might want to block whole domains of instances you think you won't have any interest in.

You might want to check your settings for the language filters too to help weed out the foreign languages a bit from your feeds.

But the real action will eventually be your home timeline, and possibly the local timeline too if this is the kind of community you like.

@volkan Just turn on the 'slow mode' in the settings, it'll help you keep your sanity.

Well, that was annoying! 😋 Several attempts just to get the last letter!

@Spinybadger
Alright, I do see where you're coming from. But I think the 'media' also have a certain responsibility. I don't think I can word it better than that at the moment.

@Spinybadger Well, threatening people related to them but not within the team is... even more toxic. I can see why he's disgruntled. People have a problem with _him_, so let them threaten him instead.

@saswisch Don't worry about it, take your time to get used to this new environment. There are very many people like you here right now. 😊

Whenever you can't figure out anything, just ask the community at large for help. They'll be happy to help you out.

@gpowerf I like wired too. Lost a nice wireless one due to leaky batteries. :(
