So, interesting notion, probably some of you already know: boosts ("re-toots") can be deleted by clicking on the 🔄 symbol. However, if the boost has crossed the border to another instance, it cannot be deleted from there!
You can only delete boosts from your own instance. They will still appear to your followers who follow you from different instances!
Worth knowing: Private toots will NOT federate, as long as you don't mention an account on another instance. Also a warning will be displayed if will federate to another instance.
IF it federates to another instance, ALL who follow both you and the mentiones account can see the toot.
@TQ So does that mean if I post something only for my followers it will only reach my followers that are on the same instance as I am?
So is there a way to post something for followers only (including those on other instances) without it being public there?
Or am I misunderstanding something?
@schonwiedersamstag It won't be publicly on the other instance, except if that instance is configured that way. It will be just as private as on your instance, and only your followers (and the admins!) can see the private message.
@TQ Oh, okay. Thank you for explaining.
@schonwiedersamstag Klaro.
