Dude, @realnewz247 question, do you use #fedilab as your android app? Because if you do, there is a way to follow entire servers on their public time line without the need of subscribing to them. I thought you might want to know that. :D
@eddiediamond @pookito just download the #roma app on the google play store
@realnewz247
I'll look. Here at #fedilab, it seem like you can look but you cannot reply or follow....?

I am replying to a couple of instances on the fediverse. One of them is gabfed.com. I am telling you man, it works. I think it is no longer free in the #android market, but if you download #fdroid you will get it for free.

I just replied to a few on gab dot com. But it won't let me touch on their accounts. Says something about fetching.
@realnewz247
@eddiediamond
I think if you click on the toot it'll fetch but if you click on the reply button it'll work just fine. It does it for me. Let me know how it works.

I don't know what fetch means. Nothing happened after.
So @eddiediamond , did you get #fedilab working for you? ✌️
So here what I discovered with some tapping. I go to the other instance i have saved in the upper bar. I can look at the timeline.
If I tap the avatar or thread I get a message saying "fetching" but nothing happens.
If I tap the reply arrow, I can reply and the toot gets posted. If I tap the person's avatar AFTER I post the reply THEN I can see their account. I can then follow them from there.
It would be better if I can access their account BEFORE I reply. That way, I'm not replying to some weirdo. Some avatars from other instances are only elephant heads. Not sure if their image is not coming through.
