> [!faq]- 谁会阅读我的文字？
> You decide.
> You can set your post to
>
> - **Public** -- Every one on this server can see, though they won't see them in their home feed unless they follow you
> - **Followers only** -- Only visible to your followers. You can control who can follow you by enabling request to follow in your settings. This way you an curate your unique audience.

> [!faq]- 我会阅读谁写的东西？
> You decide.
>
> 和主流社交媒体不同，这里没有算法决定你能看到谁的内容。你的 Home Feeds 只会出现 posts from people who you follow. 不会有随机人的 posts 塞满你的 home feeds。
>
> 我 (Jimmy Zhang) 会 follow 这个 server 的所有人。如果你想看看有哪些其他人，可以点开我的 profile --> my followings. 你也可以前往 live feeds --> this server -- 在这里你可以看到这个 server 上的所有 posts，从而决定你想 follow 谁。

## FAQ
> [!faq]- Why is my home feed empty?
> Mastodon works in a way that **you can only see posts from people who you follow in your home feed**. Here, there is no algorithm-dominated feeds, and you have control over whose content you see.
> [!faq]- How do I see all posts on this server by other members?
> Desktop: Go to "Live feeds" and "This server"
> Mobile App: Switch from "Following" to "Local" on the top left corner.
> Mobile Web: Second icon the the right bar, "This server" (see pic)
>

> [!faq]- How do I see who are on this server
> Unfortunately there is no members list.
> However, I follow every member on this server. So if you **click into my profile and go to people I follow**, that should be every one.
