@anicasts Something which is likely to come up is that different servers might federate with more or less servers.
For instance, I think your server (and these two servers probably more so, I've seen people complain about them aggressively over-blocking) federate with fewer servers than even the one I am on does.
Then again, some servers might have some sort of drama to them. So, it's possible that there are servers which aren't that visible.
@olives -nods head- Good to know. More-or-less, I'm experimenting with Phanpy to have a broader eye out on things so having columns for local or federated feeds of some of these sites seemed like something to try out.
