A team of experts have determined that if a tweet could toot, it would toot all the toots it could toot if a tweet could toot toots. This works out to 0,35 toots exactly, assuming a spherical toot in a vacuum.

While these are promising results, further research is required to determine if this conclusion also holds true in a vacuum cleaner.

Thanks to @Pandemic @Milady_Oscar @lc88 and the rest of the team for the hard work!

Everyone - boosting on Masto is even more important than RTing on birdsite because some people will otherwise NEVER run into each other because they're on different instances! Make sure to boost anyone you think is cool!

omg witches.town jinxes instead of tooting https://witches.town/media/jLctzlseC5NReMp37B4

For those who dont know, the federated timeline displays all the activity from all the people on other instances who are followed by people on your instance.

--
It is therefore very good practice to follow as many interesting people from other instances as possible. We are the ropes binding this distributed system together.

INTRO TO FEDERATION 2:

1. Servers (instances) mostly communicate 2 ways: sending posts to each other & sending profiles to each other

2. When person A's profile is first sent over, it only has their name, avatar & bio*

3. When someone on your server Y follows A, their server will send Y their toots & these are A's only toots that Y knows about*

4. # of toots/followers/follows on A's profile on Y all refer to the # of t/f/f which are actually on Y directly or indirectly

*simplified 4 brevity

My Harry Potter federation explainer:

Your instance is your House at Hogwarts. The local timeline is a common room shared with the other wizards in your instance.

The federated timeline is the dining hall, your instance + people from other instances, but not the whole wizarding world.

Then the dark Memelord rises & Shitposter.club* dogpiles the Hufflepuffs & @gargron@mastadon.social has to die & resurrect in an overt Christ analogy to save Mastodon.

It kind of got away from me at the end.

If you are in the web view of a remote instance of some user or toot, you cannot directly reply/boost/fav.

But you can copy-paste the URL into your local Mastodon server's "Search" field, then it allows you to interact!

INTRO TO FEDERATION:

1. "mastodon" is a piece of software that runs on a server. There's a lot of servers that run it & u can follow ppl on other servers.

2. When u follow someone from another server, your server receives their toots.

3. The federated TL is all public toots that the server receives, ie all of the toots from everyone that ppl on your server follow.

4. ERGO: if u want to see more toots in the fed TL, follow + get other ppl on your server to follow ppl from other servers!
