@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.

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. :)

Meh, hashtags seem to be implemented badly. In my opinion, a hashtag should mean that you broadcast to the whole fediverse, such that from everywhere, what's shown on hashtag is the same... mastodon.social/@Gargron/16691

@Gargron is there any way to allow users to reply when they visit a thread or toot on a different instance? I see boost and fav buttons on here, but absolutely no way to reply to you...

Do server admins have to actively choose which other servers they federate with, or can toots be distributed over the network really? Like let's say A federates with B and C, but B and C don't directly federate, do toots from B reach C over A?

I really like that awoo.space has 'AWOO!' in place of 'TOOT'.

to all new awooligans: this instance is supposed to federate with mastodon.social but i think something isn't working properly at the moment. they're (usually) getting posts from here but we're not getting anything from there.

it should be a temporary problem? i think our benevolent overlord vahnj is gonna look into it

Is anyone able to log-in with Mastodroid? I get a login error from awoo.space saying "Client authentication failed due to unknown client, no client authentication included, or unsupported authentication method". Tusky, TootyFruity and 11t all work.

Also, why does the federated timeline only show the same stuff as the local timeline? Shouldn't there be more? Is something broken?

Okay, somehow I don't get this yet. The posts from people I follow are in the "Home" tab/timeline, yeah? Then what exactly are "boosts"?

@vahnj I'm trying to login to mastodon-bridge.herokuapp.com/ via this instance. But I always get an error "The requested scope is invalid, unknown, or malformed." when I try to login here (using natanji@awoo.space as a username here mastodon-bridge.herokuapp.com/). Any idea what I'm doing wrong, or is something weird with the server, or the app?

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.
