I've just joined Mastodon, and I'm a little confused about the effect of joining a particular server. If I understand it correctly, I can join any server, but then I can search or follow users and hashtags across all of Mastodon?
If that's right, then what difference does it make which server I actually join? Does the server determine what posts/news I see without searching?
Got it, that pretty much answers my question. Thanks.
