Question: on my private instance (just abandoned) I was following many from Mastodon.social but not seeing any posts from Mastodon.social in my federated timeline. My instance wasn't on the Mastodon.social "blocklist." Do some instances shadow ban other instances without adding them to the "official" blocklist? Or is Mastodon inefficient at times (now) that the feeds of some slammed instances won't populate to the Federated timeline you're able to view from your timeline?@Gargron@graf@poast.org@alex

@jeff @admin@home.social @admin@mastodon.tech Thanks Jeff. It's sad that when I follow users from other instances, I can only see their posts from after the time I follow then and not from before. The local timelines of each instance will always be missed by anyone not on that server. I know @Gargron has talked about removing the "local timeline" feature and I hope he does so that everyone shares a Federated timeline. I hope Mastodon changes as we are missing out on much content that you would see on Twitter.

@masstransitkrow @alex @Gargron I appreciate that 🙏What is the most effective way to lobby @Gargron to consider removing local server timelines so that everyone more closely shares info like Twitter? Are there unions on Mastodon for petition drives? Do you agree that local timelines should be removed so everyone will stop crowding onto Mastodon.social? Although they say "spread out," local timelines are a HUGE advantage for large instances. It would be advantageous to be all on 1 server

@alex @masstransitkrow @Gargron To make sure I understand, youre suggesting i learn Ruby on Rails and make a commit to the Mastodon Github of the change I seek to do away with local server timelines? Do you agree with me @alex that the Mastodon would be a more equitable platform and more like Twitter if we ended local server timeline?

@paul @kino @anderscs @admin Here's the TechCrunch Article that just came out confirming:https://techcrunch.com/2022/11/21/tumblr-to-add-support-for-activitypub-the-social-protocol-powering-mastodon-and-other-apps/This is the opposite of today’s walled garden socials, where a post on one platform can’t be viewed by those on others.It could provide Tumblr users with an entry point into the fediverse w/out having to use Mastodon. Matt had been thinking about how Tumblr could compete w/ Twitter: “I just want there to be an open alternative."
