Mike FraserFor New Users, there are three time lines:
🏠
Home: Which has your posts and the people you follow
🧑🤝🧑
Local: Which has posts from people on your instance.
🌎
Federated: Which has posts from across the fediverse (other instances). They are mostly follows of all of the people on your instance but there's a few more thrown in for good measure.
