Hi from a completely different server. Our servers are run on completely different hardware than your server, and have completely different moderation teams and generally a different culture between our respective local users.

@iiogama @IgnisIncendio I'm starting to understand everything! I might join another server later, but I see that if you have the Federated Timeline set up properly, it won't be necessary, as we can all communicate without a hitch.

Ignis Incendio :autism:

@haikushack @iiogama True! Your server is your “window to your Fediverse”, your local culture. It’s quite cozy here.

I really like this article, it’s kinda long but it answers a lot of the questions I had! wordsmith.social/elilla/a-futu

Exactly! You should also feel comfortable moving to a different server, if you happen to find one that seems cool to you. Mastodon has easy migration tools for moving servers in the settings.

@iiogama I see! But wouldn't I have to use a different app for each server?

iiogama

@haikushack, the idea is that if you migrate from one server to another, you're shutting down your account on the original server. If you choose to have multiple accounts on different servers (which is a valid option), then you may want to use a different app than the official app. Toot! on iOS for example allows multiple accounts and you can switch between them pretty darn easily.

@iiogama Thank you! I fully understand now. Everyone has been so kind to explain!

@iiogama This all reminds me of MIRC, which I used in the early 2000s,, just after the MSN chatrooms closed. 😂

@haikushack, happy I could help! I can definitely see the similarities to IRC (which is still around and active, if you want to go down another rabbit hole, lol)

@iiogama Yes! IRC. I know it's not as alive as it used to be in the "old days", but it really reminds me of that. And yes, it is a complete rabbit hole! 😂

@iiogama @haikushack On the "official" Android app, you can tap and hold the profile pic on the bottom right to bring up an account switcher. I'm not sure if the same thing exists on iOS, however!

@Parnikkapore I am not a fan of apps, I do pretty much everything from my computer. But thank you!

@iiogama @haikushack @IgnisIncendio from what I understand, I could join multiple servers…I am happy here though.
