It would be kind of cool to dip into local timelines of random instances.
@freemo How do you do this? Guess I sure picked the right instance then. Also, what's your ham call? I'm K5NER
🇳🇱
@ner A few ways to do it depending on how.. you can go to a user from the instance and click the three dotts next to their name onnt he profile. there you have the opttionn to see their local timelinne.
You can also do it via lists or following/subscribing too.
@freemo Nice. Thanks. Enjoying the instance for sure.
@ner one thing Mastodon has quickly reminded me of is that most of the world speaks a language I don't. Pretty interesting. I hadn't even considered that one of the first thing any algo must do is filter out content in languages I probably don't understand.
@smodo So true. Noticing as I'm reading the federated timeline that I'm truly not a polymath.
@smodo Also I really should get a mastodon client with translation abilities, or copy and paste into a translator.
@ner You can, and it is a feature that only QOTO has!
