@kaasiand Muskrat heeft het almaar over het idee van een 'town square', maar hier bestaat het ook echt, alleen dan zonder de nazis 🙃

A few years ago I made this flow chart of which Mastodon posts end up in which timelines!

So, you can see how each instance will have a different local timeline, and even a slightly different federated timeline - and you can see why the federated timeline moves so much faster than the local one, too.

This is why it's important to boost good posts and use hashtags - the fediverse is fragmented and harder to search by nature.

@ejoftheweb@mastodon.green There's a lot of advice currently being shared under the tag!

Zo. Alweer een flink deel van m'n Twitter follows hier gemirrored :)

@ZaneSelvans The federated timeline will show you tweets from all instances that your instance is federating with (eg. those where you follow people), at least for me that's turning up quite a few interesting people.

alright which one of you people did this. LOL

@parchmentscroll @zkat Right, it's more that I'd rather only give that degree of access to somebody I either know personally or otherwise have reason to trust :)

me, logging on today, reading the struggles of other instance admins like

@zkat Hmm. Not sure I feel comfortable with giving a third-party service that degree of access to my Twitter account :/ As I follow a number of private accounts. Thanks for the suggestion though!

I should probably work out how to mirror my toots to Twitter... anybody have any suggestions?

@zkat Ah, in that sense. While it's a bit fire-hosey, it also ends up being pretty relevant to my interests in general (certainly more so than the Twitter homepage :p), I guess that might not be the case for everybody

@the_all Elongated Muskrat bought the place, and is (among other things) talking about "authenticating humans", which sounds an awful lot like a real-name policy

@zkat Isn't that what the federated timeline is for, though? That shows toots from all instances your instance is federating with in some way, AFAIK.

@wilbr @nowherestudios @AudreyJune I think this is basically (one of the things) that the whole Sudbury Valley school model is based upon, as well: youtube.com/watch?v=awOAmTaZ4X

@rigatonimonster it's this famous study where they said to a kid, "you can have one marshmallow now, or two marshmallows later," and the kids who took the two marshmallows had higher SAT scores and better life outcomes. This is supposed to prove that being able to delay gratification is good, rather than proving that people whose life experience has given them reason to trust authority and go along to get along have an easier time succeeding
