I'm assuming that if I have an instance and follow one user on another instance, that entire instance will then show up in my global feed, or just that one users feed and whatever they boost/see in their own instance?

Is there a way just to follow the entire instance, or "actively" federate with an instance, like pull in their data, rather than wait until a user follows someone there? Like a global, just plain domain, without the username?

On that note - seems like the general user journey is a bit 'broken' in comparison to legacy social - where if I go to an instance and end up wanting to boost a post from there, I have to go back to my home instance and copy that post link/username.

Is there no way to browse an instance from my home server?
