RE: https://mastodon.social/@staff/115849914607258480
This is not a bug of #Fedilab if the local or public timelines are empty on mastodon.social.
We will check if we can detect through the API when timelines are disabled to avoid that bad UX.

  We plan to disable the "live feeds" of the local and federated timelines on mastodon.social within in the next couple of weeks. They are already disabled on mastodon.online. While these feeds can be useful on smaller, topical or regional servers, they have limited use on larger servers like ours. The live feeds present all content on the server immediately and essentially pre-moderation, which presents a particularly poor experience to new users finding the fediverse for the first time.

  Well, yes and no. Detecting disabled timelines through the API should be straightforward. But the whole UX has always been designed around the local and public timelines being available. When they're gone, it changes quite a lot in terms of navigation and discovery.

  Since we work on Holos, we questioned the usefulness of the public timeline.
  There are so many create/update/delete activities that nobody can keep up with. People need messages related to their hobbies, not random ones.

  Yes, we fully missed this update that will need some reworks.
