I'm making a public post to see if it will show up in the public stream!

(Of oulfis.space, that is. If it shows up in others instances' public streams I would be very interested to know that!!)

It DOES show in the public stream! It is currently the only post that does.

I'm seeing it. Are there others I'm missing?

I don't think you're missing any-- this is the only public post I've made, and I think I'm the only one really posting from oulfis.space. Do you see this in your own stream, the public stream at stopthatimp, or the public stream at oulfis.space?

I have no idea... 'fandom.stopthatimp.net/network'... I really have zero idea what i'm doing here. Or why, tbh. I think I just have a compulsion to early adopt whatever I stumble upon.

Haha, no worries, I BARELY know more than you, but that actually is enough to answer my question! At that url, you're seeing this post on your own personal stream, because we're mutual connections so you see all my posts. Your stream shows all the posts that you personally have access to. My poking around has determined that it's also possible for there to be a "public" stream of all the posts that anybody in the instance posts without privacy filters, and I was curious how that works.

The public streams are at http://oulfis.space/pubstream and at https://fandom.stopthatimp.net/pubstream .... but apparently stopthatimp actually doesn't HAVE a public stream! Hm, so maybe I'll turn off the one at oulfis.space, I'm not sure if it actually serves any purpose...

and, haha, I get you on the early adopting -- here's something new that I can tinker with! That's exciting to me in itself.

I'm not actually all that good with tinkering most of the time. :( Which means I'm on the useless side here.

Noo! It's super useful to have folks who are game to hang out and poke at stuff to see what breaks! And tbh is the point of any of this to be "useful"? I'm just here to have a good time.

Ah. Public stream. Got it. All the posts from everyone. Personal stream, all the posts from the folks I'm connected to. My brain wants to think that personal stream is just my personal stuff. D'oh.

If I slide my eyes to the left of my screen, I can see public stream, your network stream, your channel homepage. Okay. I can figure this out.

But how did you share that one post with the Steve art?

Sounds like you've got it! The Steve art showed up on my personal stream, from someone I'm connected to, and I clicked the little "gear" icon underneath the post (right next to the thumbs-up), which copied it to my stream. Sharing seems to be really kind of wacky right now, in the sense that it doesn't seem like there's a good way for people to see where their stuff is shared? But that's where the button is, at least.

I just want you to know, I moseyed on out to your server and got the "oulfis.space welcomes imp" message and it was DELIGHTFUL.
