FAQ

Q: Can I browse the Fediverse without creating an account?

A: Absolutely. Raccoon includes a guest mode and an interactive tour that let you scroll through public timelines, check trending topics, and view media galleries without signing up. This is perfect for newcomers who want to get a feel for how the Fediverse works before committing to a profile.

Q: How do I switch between different timelines like local, federated, or custom lists?

A: At the top of the main screen you’ll find a timeline selector. Tapping it opens a menu where you can choose the built‑in options (local, federated, followed) or any custom list you have created. The switch happens instantly, and the app remembers your last‑used timeline for each account, so you can hop back and forth without losing your place.

Q: Is the scrolling experience truly customizable?

A: Yes. Raccoon offers two primary navigation styles. If you prefer the classic vertical scroll, simply keep scrolling as you would in any feed. For a faster, swipe‑centric experience, enable horizontal swiping in the settings; each swipe moves you to the next post, making it easy to skim quickly on mobile devices.
