What do you mean? The rare times I use mastodon I can just reply to any toot from any instance and it just works.
- kkjjkgjjgg 5y agoYou can communicate p2p, but not really participate in discussions on other servers. At least it is not encouraged. Might only be a client issue. I don't remember the details, but I think it is the way messages from other servers show up in the timeline.
- ryukafalz 5y agoYou can, you just don't share the instance-local timeline. If you're mostly talking with people you follow and vice-versa, it all works pretty seamlessly. But people on other instances won't discover your posts via the local timeline, which is where a lot of people start when they first join. You might be visible in the global timeline depending, but that's a mess. :)
