Each network on the Fediverse is made up of lots of independent servers, called "instances".

You can see all the latest public posts and boosts on your home instance by clicking "Local" at the side of the screen. It can be a good place to find new people to follow.

However, on larger instances this Local feed may be an unreadable firehose of posts that scrolls far too quickly. This is why a lot of people prefer being on smaller instances that match their interests.

When I look at "#PinePhone progress", I often tend to look at speed and software availability. But there's more: The amount of apps I've been using this morning to see what's going on would have rendered the device utterly unresponsive a year ago, forcing a hard reboot.
This development is making the device so much more viable, so thank you all involved for identifying and fixing these tiny little show-stoppers!

PSA: We updated our ISOs a few minutes ago due to the following issue affecting installed systems.
