How does Mastodon work? It says you can't register on mastodon.social anymore because it's too big. If you sign up on different server, can you still interact with people on mastodon.social and other servers...?
- bpbp-mango 4y agoYes you can
- luxpir 4y agoYes. For federated, think email. Only everyone's inbox is a feed. Better: you get a local and federated feed, as well as the feed for who you follow. Local is just the server you're signed up to. Fed is "the world" and your follow feed is just that.
- pera 4y agoYes, it's like e-mail. You can even interact with people from other platforms thanks to ActivityPub.
