wrote for 23 dage siden sidst redigeret afso did i get this right:?
the main thingy is mastodon
the protocols are open
there is more (like friendica, diaspora, ...?)
my instances server fetches all that stuff from all the other instances (over time)?
so can mastodon users see my screaming into the void (i understand @endless screaming now)?
or can i just see their posts and interact with them, as my instance crawls anything available?
are there cutoffs / limits / if not shown after timeout never seen?
is there a way to get back to the post i tried to comment on which disapeas after i am finished typing (as coming from facebook i alsways type in an external editor, then paste, not to provide biometric typing data)...
aaand: i create my bubble over time by using #tags? or by the tags defined in my profile? or both? or is there anyhow some kind of algorithm filtering and selecting what to show (feels mind blowingly open but somehow lonely the same time)?
do i need followers or friends for it "to be like at ..."?
will somepwny even read or answer this? -

If you need help have a look at https://fedi.tips and feel free to ask!
Your instance notices accounts and posts based on what your instance's members do, there are also optionally groups and relays pushing posts to your instance. (An exact list is at https://fedi.tips/which-posts-and-accounts-can-i-see-from-my-server/)
If your instance hasn't noticed something, copy-paste its address into your instance's search box to make it notice.
There is no algorithm, it's all posts from accounts you follow.
