Hello! I'm new to this instance and to Mastodon. Would like to know what exactly a federation is and what being on this site is like (=^_^=)
@mewmew Thank you for the welcome!
@lunarised Surely it's unparalleled to the degeneracy of Reddit.. right?
@vivi Where's your saddle man I can't just mount a horse without the gear
@vivi If you say so, let's take this bad boy out to the parking lot
@Elfie I've been trying to maintain my status as a simple anime enthusiast for a long time now but I can feel the effects of the anime kicking in.. I- かわいい!!
@nerthos it's an uphill battle, huh
@yourlocalimouto
The best example of federation I can think of is email. How you can communicate with someone using a different provider (server) than the one you're using (i.e. you, using Hotmail, can communicate with someone using Yahoo or Gmail.)
As far as this instance, it's really nice! It's really comfy, everyone is pretty nice, and it's just a fun place!
@easthighNerd so you're able to communicate with people in other instances as long as you have an account with an instance, like email providers? That makes sense, thank you! And hopefully this is a nice instance :D
@Elfie which languages would you use to create your own instance? Also, could you perhaps link to the big instances?
@TheMadPirate @Elfie thanks to the both of you, I'll check these out when I can
@nerthos I think I'll be using this anytime I try to recruit more people into Mastodon and the like
@nerthos That's a relief, I'd been wondering if I was only allowed to have one singular account
@hakui gold subscription?
@hakui @yourlocalimouto @nerthos
What about the Platinum subscription?
@hakui @easthighNerd @nerthos you're losing me here.. I'll just assume soykaf is another instance and you need to pay for three (and a half) more accounts
@nerthos @easthighNerd @hakui I see. Must be nice to show off an account to people who can't sign up haha
@nerthos @yourlocalimouto lol omg this video is great!!
@yourlocalimouto hello! im also new,
