Is there a way to only have specific hashtags you follow to only show up in your feed? Not trending hashtags, others, etc?

[@LiberataRicenberg]

I really appreciate your efforts! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

Great Vid. Needed something like that to explain Mastodon to me. Love the explanation differences between federated and distributed.

[@mostlychris]

Thanks for watching. The difference in the topology is interesting.

Best to go to a small server of like-minded people and avoid the big servers for the moment from what I hear. It's a better experience then Twitter in certain ways(no ads).

[@mostlychris]

I've heard the same thing. Bigger servers also have timelines that scroll so fast it's hard to keep up.

@@bat3332 I picked an infosec community because I like infosec. There is a defcon community too.

Mastodon is a great concept, it's too bad a lot of new users are having negative experiences with everything that's been going on lately.

[@MattKurkowski]

Negative experience with what? First thing I did on mastodon is figure out to filter out all the anime porn. Is the anime porn a negative?

[@mostlychris]

Just follow what you want. The home feed contains only what you want to follow. If you look at the federated or local (depending on your server) feeds, you'll get a lot more stuff but might be unwanted.
