On which instance? The "truth" instance, or a different one?

Whereas Twitter handles are "@username", mastodon accounts are more like "@username@server".

Responses:

Ah, I'm seeing that. So far I've joined mastodon.social and democracy.town. How do I aggregate the two feeds? -- nm - marum scarum Oct 21, 09:17 7
- That I don't know. I just have one, on PHPC social. Maybe it's like multiple accounts in the Twitter app. - Beryllium Oct 21, 09:20 6
  - When I click on "federated," it's tons and tons of posts that never stop loading. It might be the "local" feed, but it's really hard to tell. There's definitely a difference betw local and home. -- nm* - marum scarum Oct 21, 09:28 5
    - The federated timeline is sort of like an aggregated RSS feed from all the connected networks. Like a firehose. - Beryllium Oct 21, 09:46 3
      - It helped a lot to restrict it to English. :-) -- nm - marum scarum Oct 21, 10:05
      - It's difficult to read, though; it keeps jumping. -- nm - marum scarum Oct 21, 09:49 1
        
        That might be a web interface issue. I tried it in the Amaroq app just now and there wasn't any jumping. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 09:56
    - Ugh, I don't think there's a way to do it. -- nm - marum scarum Oct 21, 09:45
