@ultimape Try inputting their toot URL into the Search field of your instance. You should be able to interact from there.

@lithm @moho1@social.troll.academy Witches.town ist auch auf der Whitelist. Aber insgesamt ist das wohl das Problem, ja. Irgendwie sehr meh.

@C_Holler It's not a mode, it's simply a different server. And my button here says "Awoo!" instead of "Toot"

@noiob @vahnj I opened issues #983 and #979, that should definitely help.

@vahnj @noiob Sure. I believe it would be a really important feature for other things, though. For instance, I might trust this server for my direct messages and private posts, but want to make sure they never leave this instance (or a specific network of trusted instances).
I suppose this should be something I bring up on the Mastodon Github though, eh?

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what Mastodon is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

@vahnj @noiob I also suppose I'd look for different technical solutions to that problem, e.g. instead of "post to public timelines" visibility of posts you can decide to post only to a subset of the fediverse that is user-configurable. It's such a hassle to need multiple accounts...

@vahnj @noiob I suppose I signed up for the wrong thing then, I never understood from the server description that you wouldn't federate with the whole rest of the network but just keep a small whitelist... maybe you could put that info somewhere more prominently?

@noiob But... what is that useful for, exactly? Users decide what they want to see by themselves. Where is downside of federating with places you *don't* trust? Is it about the federated timeline, or something else too?

@micahflee Probably once this actually works properly and people can get an account without a hassle? ^^

@noiob Say... do we *exclusively* federate with mastodon.social here? Because that would be really sad, people are getting into instances all over the place. But I can't read or follow people from elsewhere, as it seems... //cc @vahnj

@moho1@social.troll.academy Also ich kann deinen Krams nicht sehen und dir auch nicht folgen. humhum.

@slipstream @Gargron Gosh I will *so* have to get used to that xD
I figured out by now that I have to copypaste that link, yea - it's kind of annoying to have to do that though, I wonder why it can't work more like the "Remote follow" button.

@verkatert Was bedeutet das für "private" Posts? Heißt das, jeder der eine eigene Instanz betreibt, kann alle Privaten Toots und Direktnachrichten abschnorcheln? Das wäre ja Privacy-Fail.

PSA: If you are in the web view of a remote instance of some user or toot, you cannot directly reply/boost/fav.

But you can copypaste the URL into your local Mastodon server's "Search" field, then it allows you to interact!

Wasn't obvious to me, so maybe boost this if it helped you. :)

Awoo Space

Awoo.space is a Mastodon instance where members can rely on a team of moderators to help resolve conflict, and limits federation with other instances using a specific access list to minimize abuse.
