#introduction #qotojournal Hello. I've looked at a couple of servers and finally settled here. What is particularly excellent and unique is the ability to follow another domain of interest and get its whole public timeline on your Home page or in a list. So I can easily keep an eye on what's happening on other servers. Everyone needs Domain Subscription!
@kefir Follows and followers... then Domain subscribes... on the left menu (under Follows and subscriptions). Put in some domains (eg mastodon.me.uk or mastodon.ie) and choose either a List of the Home timeline. You will get the federated (public) timeline from the servers you add in the list or Home timeline. qoto.org is running modified Mastodon server software - the standard software doesn't have this useful feature.
@kefir PS you may need to do it on a Web browser
@peterwhisker yes, finally got around to testing this in a web browser. Even setting my mobile browser to desktop mode didn't help. But navigating to https://qoto.org/relationships works, even on mobile.
@peterwhisker What is domain subscription and how do you set it up?
@MtnWaver on a Web browser, go to Following and Followers/Subscriptions and from the menu you see Domain Subscriptions. You can add the public feed from another server to a list or your home timeline.
@peterwhisker Thanks! Hadn't uncovered that yet.
@peterwhisker Oh wow! How does one follow a whole domain? Would appreciate a link to instructions if you have time. Thanks! :-)
@SandyKendell it's on the Followers menu via a web browser. Clients won't know about this. If you get stuck ask again.
@peterwhisker I found it! Thanks so much! Been here a week. Learning tons!!!
@SandyKendell it's the best thing about qoto.org. you can follow all your favourite instances in a list like you were on them and not miss out. Besides that, qoto.org responds quickly unlike others.
@peterwhisker how do you do domain follow?
