To find a remote account or post your server has not seen, search for its full handle or public URL. Search results depend on what the remote server makes available and your server’s federation policy. Remote changes may take time to arrive.
Read posting for composer controls and account settings for privacy, filters, and exports. For sign-in problems or moderation decisions, contact your server’s operators.
You can also sign in through a Mastodon-compatible app using the server’s hosting domain. Available features depend on the app; see client connections.
