1.) Licenses ... on my older posts, the Image shows a content license (like, CC BY-NC-SA), but not on newer ones ... there doesn't seem to be a way to specify a license, or is there?

2.) Followers ... some friends joined on other instances, and we followed each other ... when I click their profile from MY instance, then I see only myself (seems like they don't have any other followers on that instance).

If I visit their profile on THEIR instance, I can see they have more followers, but I can't see the details without logging in (and the account from my instance doesn't work).

Is that by design?

I can't even see their profile picture from my instance ... my posts seem to show up in their feed though ...

3.) I'm using the official app, but I can only see my most recent posts ... I made a few posts about a year ago and they don't show up ...

Can someone enlighten me here?

It's easy, you'll get it in time. You're just a little confused because of how different it is.

And its gotta be said: understanding it better wont fix all the problems you have with it. This style of social media may not be for everyone and that's okay.

But just know that there are a lot of people that are glad non-enthusiasts like yourself are at least giving these kinds of social media alternatives a chance. :)
