Hmm. Timeline full of people I'm not following. Toots that are utterly meaningless to me. So far, I'm not seeing a reason to stay here, even though i applaud the principle of it.
Is the "local" timeline just toots on the same instance I'm on and the "federated" timeline toots across multiple instances? How do I know what "instance" I'm on? If I want to encourage friends to join, do they need to be on the same one?
I'm probably way too old and technologically illiterate for this, but here I am. Blame @wilw
