#federated feed is only showing toots in Japanese.
So what determines what shows up on the federated timeline?
Is it #fediverse that’s confusing me or is it #fedibird that’s confusing me??
@Peaceopaleye
I did. Or at least I think I did.
Interface language is English and for toot/ feed languages I picked 4 languages.
I think I’m seeing a few English ones popping up so maybe it’s adjusting?
Still, out of the thousands of public toots, what determines which ones show up?
@izayoi the japanese people should be going to sleep soon
the federated timeline is content created outside of your instance.
what determines what shows up in the federated timeline = what your instance can see and what they haven't blocked
@izayoi also the fediverse got way more popular in japan before this recent twitter migration.
you're in their house :)
@travis
So, some parameters maybe set by the Instance?
hmmm…
Thank you. I guess I’ll have to observe what the tendency is for a couple of days more.
@izayoi also fedibird is a japanese instance.
Don't quote me on this, but it's something like: if someone toots on another node, but on your node, nobody follows that person, then your node doesn't get the toot.
@Kazinator
So there has to be at least one point of connection somewhere, then it show up?
Interesting…
fedibirdは、ログインしないと、公開やり取りを見られなさそうです。
こちらのページには、何もでてきません：
ほかのマストドンのサーバーでは、/publicのURLでライブストリームが出てきます。
I suspect, if a fedibird user has no followers outside of fedibird, I have no way to discover that user without creating a fedibird account.
If a mastodon instance has a public stream that is visible to casual visitors, you can see some interesting post, and copy-paste the person's ID to your own mastodon, and follow that person or send them a DM.
Ohhhhh.
ありがとうございます♪
@izayoi you can change your language preferences for #federated in settings.
