Gregory's Server@haikushack @Gargron yes, assuming you have federation set up properly. Mastodon is like Email and twitter had a baby: you might be on Gmail and I might use outlook but they both work together for the most part! Same with Mastodon servers!

@haikushack right since you can interact with all other servers. However note that you cannot log in to other servers directly. @HeliumVisionary Yes, this I have figured out already. 😜 Is there a list of specific servers that we can join somewhere? @haikushack not exactly. You can follow, reply, and favorite other people on other servers, but your account can't "join" them. Think of it like email. A @hotmail address can email a @yahoo address, but you cannot log into Yahoo with a Hotmail account. @haikushack no, you shouldn't. There's still some clunky parts (just like searching for users on Facebook won't give you people on Twitter, searching across servers is hard to implement and the UI for cross-server interactions is definitely imperfect) but most of this can be fixed by more investment! Realistically, most people will gravitate to a few big servers but just like email nothing's stopping you from starting your own (which is what I did!) |
@madwonk That's fascinating! So I don't need to open another account anywhere, I guess?
