Mastodon is partly supposed to be great because it doesn't matter which instance you're on, you can follow people on other instances. But how exactly do you discover who to follow on other instances? The fed timeline is usually so fast you can't really process what people are saying on there. At least on the same instance you have the local timeline which is easier to follow.
