ok, how do I get something like twitter timeline here? I followed several people. will I see their toots on my home screen?

@herid Yep, and you can also look at Community (where I spotted this post) and Hashtags for more content while you find people to follow.

@davoloid thanks. so that part is similar to twitter. what's the difference between follow and subscribe if you don't mind explaining? when I search for someone these are the two options.

@herid I haven't seen subscribe, only follow. I wonder if it's something that comes up in web client? @freemo is the instance owner so may know.

@davoloid

Its a QOTO feature and yes you can access it from our web client.

It lets you follow a user without them knowing you are following them and without them needing to approve of you as a follower if it is locked down.

The down side is you will only see their public posts and any follower-only posts you cant see unnless you follow.
