Hey all. Love federation, think it might play a big role in saving society (unless we destroy it by way of climate change).
2 question about the federation here
1: The fact that I only see a tiny fraction of the toots of people on other Mastodon instances is surely a bug that will be fixed soon, right? It's not meant to be this way?
2: It's possible to follow other social networks using GNU Social, not just Mastodon instances, right?
Thanks! :)
@forteller
1) Inter-instance communication is pretty much black magic. It's sort of well defined in the OStatus spec, but Mastodon doesn't entirely comply with that.
2) Yup.
@forteller You should join @maiyannah
@raffitz @maiyannah Thanks for the tip! Followed. :)
@raffitz What? What's the point of standards if people just comply halfheartedly? :/
