If you're wondering what the eye 👁️ icon on the Mastodon web interface does, here's the answer:
When a thread contains posts hidden by content warnings, clicking the eye icon toggles all the thread's posts open or closed. This is really useful, it means you don't have to open each post one by one to read the whole thread.
If there are no CWs in the thread, the eye icon does nothing.
(There is also an eye icon on the official Mastodon app, but this just hides or reveals one post at a time.)

in reply to bruhSoulz • •@bruhSoulz some applications like Fedilab allow you to follow other instances. To be precise, you can follow all messages from the public timeline as well as those from your approved contacts.

in reply to bruhSoulz • •@bruhSoulz to follow an instance you must search for any account of that instance, open the profile of that account and click on the context menu at the top right. At this point you must choose the "follow instance" option
There are also other applications that allow you to follow the instance, but I don't remember which ones they are; you could ask @Fedi.Tips

There's no official way to do it, but there are third party apps that let you follow instances:
