@ploum Question, how does this site work exactly?
Is every server like a mini social media network?
Can you find things on other severs with 1 account?

@TravisV_ @ploum the fact that nobody can figure out even the basics of this app is a real problem. For social media to work it needs to be super simple and intuitive. This site was designed for programmers, seemingly.

@TravisV_ @ploum Yes, you see others.

You can sort of think of three layered bubbles:
1) the people you follow and everything they post and „boost“ (you can follow people on other instances (aka servers)),
2) the people on the same instance as you (the Local timeline), and
3) the people from other instances that people on your instance follow (the Federated timeline)
