Mastodon / Fediverse question.

Home, Local, and Global (Federated) Timelines. Did those options disappear?

On the desktop version of Mastodon, there used to be (as of 2 days ago) a menu item, "Live Feeds," to choose which feed to browse. Now it's not there.

@donray@mastodon.online @FediTips@social.growyourown.services Guessing... see if this sheds any light on your question🤷‍♂️

I often peruse Mastodons Github issues when I run into interface problems...

Yes, I think that conversation is describing the way it was before the Live Feeds link disappeared from the menu. I have contacted the admin of mastodon.online. It could be something the Mastodon developers did (accidentally or on purpose????).

@donray@mastodon.online @FediTips@social.growyourown.services Found mention of a new server setting too, that an Administrator might use🤔

Yeah, the first issue is from 2023 and was just bringing in the "Live Feeds" option.

I'm not sure whether the second link is related.

Either way, it's something the mastodon.online admins would know.
