What's local & federated on the menu here? How is it different from my Home page? Sorry to bother everyone with so many questions, professional hazard I guess 😊
@Tulikaa also it is never a bother
@freemo 🤗
@freemo okay... makes sense
@Tulikaa 👀
A local timeline shows all public toots from users on your instance. You can think of it as a mailing list for everyone in your town. The federated timeline extends the local timeline by one degree of separation. It shows all the public toots from people who are followed by the users of that instance
@Tulikaa local are the posts of people just on this instance. Federated are posts from any instance on the whole internet.
