    Sorry what do you mean? I see users posting from other instances in my mastodon app (I haven’t used it much).

      Sorry, what do you mean?

      I see users posting from other instances in my mastodon app

      Which would indicate that

      everyone is centralized on the same instance?

      is incorrect.

        Idk this whole thread confuses me. I’m on est.social instance, I’m gonna assume I see everyone who hasnt excluded my instance and vice versa…

          It’s a bit more complicated than that, but yes, that’s the gist of it.
