Say, folks: what's the difference between "Local Timeline" and "Federated Timeline"?

@Sylvan The "Local Timeline" is what posts are on your instance (awoo.space), and the "Federated Timeline" is posts from all instances that your server knows about (excluding servers it blocks, etc.).

That is, the local one will be more furry-related, and the federated one will be more general.

@dyeddurian Perfect! Thank you for the clarity! I really needed that!

(Old grey-muzzle is old.) :)

Awoo Space

Awoo.space is a Mastodon instance where members can rely on a team of moderators to help resolve conflict, and limits federation with other instances using a specific access list to minimize abuse.
