FAQ

I just followed someone. Why aren't their posts in my timeline?

When you follow someone, you get their new posts from that point on, but you don't get old posts from before you started following. Likewise, if you unfollow someone, their posts from while you followed them stay in your timeline, but you won't get any new ones.

Actually your server stores the entire post, and yes you do have the ability to delete them individually. tent-status doesn't currently support this.

If someone's server goes offline, will I lose their posts forever?

For every post that has ever been in your timeline, your server doesn't just hold a link to it, it also holds the content. If that person's server disappears for whatever reason, you will still see their posts.
