I just discovered the Federated timeline. I don't fully understand what winds up there and why, but it's sure interesting and a great way to discover interesting folks.
@blindscribe So my instance can choose to federate with another specific instance and those posts will show up as well as posts from any of the people who are followed by the people I happen to follow? Is it two pronged like that?
@Steve Sawczyn Most likelly I'm saying the same, I just would like to make sure we all get it right. The federated timeline of an instance consists of all the public posts retrieved from timelines of individual users having account on that instance. For example we both are on instance1.social, I'm following user from instance2.social, you are following another user from instance3.social. Anyone looking at the instance1 federated timeline will see their public posts
