@Amino the main app is like that, it has received some criticism by power users but I guess it's better for novices, I would consider switching to Metatext or Tooot but I don't have iOS and idk a ton of alternatives, the ones I mentioned are pretty trustworthy

@joel At the moment, None of the above.Being new, I'm still spending a lot of time trying to find new folks to follow, which involves reading through many profiles to see if posts match my interests.Hopefully home once I can start finding the content I'm interested in.

@joel Running my own instance with just me + 2 inactive friends means my local timeline is _very_ quiet. Home is usually where I go to see what's up but when that gets to quiet I jump the the Federated timeline instead.It's also a great way to discover new folks.

@joel For now it's the #settings. 😅 Anyway, I would like to use Federated more but it's unusable for me because of the constant refreshing of the timeline. Impossible to read anything without keeping the scroll button moving. And Local is kinda "quiet" which is odd.

@doc I think you can go to the discover tab, then to community to view the local timeline, but the official app is kinda lackluster in the opinion of the most veteran users, there are other clients that allow you to easily view other timelines, like tusky or fedilab on Android, and Metatext or Tooot on iOS

@lucifer you are right, I use other services where I post other things and for different uses. So yeah, some people still don't know about those and it's important that they are aware of their existenceI think they should first understand what an instance is first tho, some don't even understand that yet

@dverdin that's a good way to use it :PMastodon has you home feed, with the people you follow, their boosts and repliesYour local timeline are only posts made by people on your server (mastodon.gougere.fr in your case)The federated timeline are posts made by the whole network of instances of users and servers that are interacting with your instance!These are mostly seen in the web interface.

@joel I'll qualify my vote though. I have two accounts. One on mastodon.social that I use for general socialising, etc and in that, the Home Timeline is the go. And another on photog.social which I spend more time in the Local Timeline, as it's a small instance and therefore the local timeline is useful.
