Mastodawn

I'm seeing random posts from people i don't follow in "Local timeline." Does this change over time with the people I follow?

@MrHodl Local timeline is showing you all posts from your mastodon instance.

Your instance is @mastodon.social, so you see all the posts from people in @mastodon.social (like me)

Thanks for the answer guys.

Is there a way we can make our own "instance"?

@MrHodl Mastodon is open source, you can totally make your own instance if you need to, and have the required skillset
