Conversation

On Local timelines and finding people based on interest!

The local timeline shows 'local' content - the content that's local to the instance you're on. The way the fediverse works, you choose a server based on a moderation style you're comfortable with and a community that interests you, then discovery of other users happens through hashtags, so you can fill your home feed with relevant content (and for a lot of people, they only view their 'home' feed and don't watch local as much).
