@ -6,6 +6,8 @@ Mastodon right now is designed to get your messages out to the entire fediverse.
I've been running Friend Camp, a Mastodon fork with local only posting, for about a year. Being able to have conversations with people on your server that don't federate is a hugely liberating thing. It allows inside jokes to develop. It allows people the freedom to complain about things that they wouldn't necessarily feel comfortable leaving a trusted server (cops, employers, etc). It also lets us do things like have a server-wide movie night where we flood the local timeline with posts about the movie, and it doesn't pollute the rest of the Fediverse.
For more on why local-only posting is great, check out [Run Your Own Social](https://runyourown.social).
## How
There is a new icon next to the CW dropdown that looks like a chain link, either unbroken (for federated) or broken (for local-only). On each post you make, you can set whether it's local or not.
