I have a dumb question about the fediverse.
Suppose someone makes their own personal instance. Federation is opt-in? So they have to click a button for each of the seemingly thousands of mastodon instances to get them on their "global" feed?
Or it's opt out, so they start with a hellscape of Nazi instances and have to remove them one by one?
And do the other instances have to also opt in? Are the admins of every instance needing to do something every time a new instance comes online?
If you create a
poa dot st
nicecrew dot digital
or
merovingian dot club
profile
Then
When you log in
If you click on home you see the individuals you followed
If you click on federated you see everyone you have not blocked and or muted in all federations that your federation instance has not blocked and or muted
If you click on local you see what everyone in your federation instance posted who you have not blocked and or muted
Not sure if you create your own federation instance
When I say blocked and or muted I am not sure if the correct word to use is blocked or muted or both in the previous comment about what you see and do not see in regards to home, local or federated
