I'm on the Mastodon Art Instance as well as here. I've just looked up my profile and the stuff I boost there doesn't show, I'd be interested to know if you receive it. Also, there are accounts I follow there that I can't see here; I thought the federation thing meant you could see toots everywhere if following. Advice welcome

Welcome to those newly arrived at Mastodon.

Initially, I found Mastodon confusing. I collected what I learned and figured out in a post on my blog, along with links to helpful pages. You can take a look and see whether it is helpful.

I'm liking Mastodon, but I'm not sure if I'm using it properly yet. I don't see many posts, I guess it's because they've not been boosted?
Maybe I'll seek people out and see what they've posted, then I can boost them. #MastodonNovice #learningcurve

@Beedazzled Don't know how! Will look into it, though. Thanks.

@jeff Question: I was curious and looked at newsie.social public page from a different browser and at the local feed here. They are different.

What does that mean?
