@bibliolater you can subscribe to accounts?
@eatyourglory Yes, apparently.
@bibliolater how and from where?
@bibliolater you mean the icon that looks like wifi?
@bibliolater That is not a subscribe icon. That is an RSS feed icon. Try it.
@eatyourglory On my instance it comes as a subscribe button and yes it is a RSS feed icon.
@bibliolater what happens when you click on it?
@eatyourglory I have just done it. I have become your subscriber. I cannot tell what it is for.
@bibliolater I did not receive any notification about that. Let me make a normal toot.

@eatyourglory @bibliolater it's a qoto feature allowing for receiving updates of public posts without following. it does respect blocks afaik. cc @freemo
🇳🇱
Right its a qoto feature. Similar to using rss but you receive the content right in your feed as notifications. It is privacy respecting.
@freemo @bonifartius @eatyourglory Thank you for clearing this matter up for me.
