So this particular install of Mastodon is interesting -- it looks more like Twitter's interface (and, for that matter, GNU social) than the "Tweet Deck" style I've seen elsewhere. Was that done on purpose?

@ggow Gotcha. I might keep it like this -- I actually prefer it to the tootsuite style.

Is the single-stream view set by default for new users?

@robertwgehl that seems to be the case. For some reason, some toots in my home timeline aren't showing in the local timeline. Let me know if you have any insights.

@robertwgehl yep. posts need to be set for "public" to show up in the local and federated timelines.

This is an instance of Mastodon at the University of Alberta. We are using this instance mainly for testing, but we welcome those who want to learn more about open source social media.
