For New Users, there are three time lines:

🏠 Home: Which has your posts and the people you follow

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Local: Which has posts from people on your instance.

🌎 Federated: Which has posts from across the fediverse (other instances). They are mostly follows of all of the people on your instance but there's a few more thrown in for good measure.

@mike how do you see the different timelines?

@Merry120 I posted this earlier: New Users, if you're on the official Mastodon mobile app Stop 🛑. It does not show all the views and confuses most new users. For Android I would suggest Tusky, for Apple I would suggest Metatext or Toot. #NewToMastodon

@mike

Here’s what we’re dealing with, a seriously tech challenged child of the 70’s, LOL!

I tried both Tooot and Metatext. When I got to the point of logging in, I copied the URL from my profile page to log in but I keep getting a 404 error message. No clue how to fix this.

@Xsjoy Just put in newsie.social. If that does not work put https:// in front of newsie. social.
