Local-only-posting.md

@ -22,6 +22,17 @@ A local-only post will appear in your timeline with the broken chain icon on it:
In your Preferences menu, under "Other", there is an option that says "__Allow my toots to reach other instances by default__". This is checked by default, which means your posts are normally federated if you don't touch any of the per-post settings. If you uncheck this, then your posts are normally local and you must make an effort to federate your content on each post using the per-post toggle shown above.
### Note on 3rd party apps
As of Hometown v1.0.4 (released May 17, 2020), if you use a 3rd party app like [Tusky](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keylesspalace.tusky&hl=en_US) or [Pinafore](https://pinafore.social/) or [Toot!](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/toot/id1229021451), local-only posts work as follows:
* If your account is set to federate by default, then your new posts will all be federated (aka not local-only).
* If you reply to a local-only post, your reply will be local-only.
* If you reply to a federated post, even on your own local instance, then your reply will be federated.
* If your account is set to local-only by default, then your new posts will all be local-only (aka not federated).
* If you reply to a local-only post, your reply will be local-only.
* If you reply to a federated post, then your reply will be federated. This means that you can still chat with people on other servers even if you're set to local-only by default.
## Who
