   Here's my secret method:

   Go to the search icon at the bottom.

   Now you have choices of: posts, hashtags, news, local, and for you.

   Click on local.

   My local is packed out with people speaking in nine different languages. It doesn't seem to be very local at all, and I am instantly reminded that there are Mastodonians from all over the world.

   In among the languages I don't speak, there's an eclectic selection of English speakers.

   I don't do it too often, but I enjoy it there.

   @puniko Actually, that should be local.

   My mute is local. If I am following you and you switch instances, your instance - the remote instance, to me - sends a message to all of your followers when you switch instances, which is how we keep following you at the next instance, no?

   In which case, part of what I suggest would be that *locally* would be my local instance checks to see if, when I get a notification to follow puniko@X because I followed puniko@Y, puniko@X was muted so I can transfer that too.

   (I would never mute puniko :)

   No information leakage.

   But maybe I misunderstand how this whole business works with notifying followers' instances automatically when you switch instances.
