So, if I sign up to a specific Mastodon and click on whatever "global" timeline there is, it will only return to me posts that are from users followed by _that_ particular instance?

This makes me curious then, what is Mostr doing?

yes

This is why Mastodon never made any sense to me and I quit using it after like two weeks.

Interesting, OK... so as we know there's no real "global" feed on Nostr, because it's contingent on specific relay connections, etc... But it seems like it's more "global" than the corresponding view on Mastodon, which is inherently limited to the specific instance's users' follows.

mostr requires at least

- profile event, which is only accepted if its nip05 verified

- follow event

due to requirements being complex, i have not tested if it works after that.
