Each instance has a “local” feed of posts from that instance. Same as how local works on Lemmy.

You also have your “home” feed (like our Subscribed, it’s for posts from people you follow) and a “federated” feed (like our All, everything your instance knows about).

I mostly use Mastodon on desktop and I can pin columns with my fave hashtags in as their own separate feed, which is nice.

Good to hear fedilab is still one of the better ones. Haven’t used any much lately but I’ll just stick with it

The official one lacks lists, local, world… how is anyone supposed to find people to follow?

Thanks, that helps!! The separate timeliness ads actuly pretty awesome. Basically a curated list of topics/people instead of everything being thrown at you like Twitter.

I honestly have no idea how Twitter works so will just have to take your word for it lol. Loving Mastodon though, I’ve had two accounts since November, both on small niche instances and both have nice active feeds and as much conversation as I want :)

Don’t forget, you can follow hashtags too! So if you want to see toots (posts) regarding a topic that interests you, just follow a hashtag like #ukrainewar, or #linux for example. That’s also a good way to to find people to follow.

Yes! I saw that, that’s great. Missed it initially, as it is not possible viel the official mobile app. And when using Tusky I accidentally “muted” my tags, so they were shown as filtered in the homepage. So many possibilities!
