Is the "local timeline" a filtered version of followed people or a geobased one?

@mcg thanks! Not sure what instance I am in... also behind VPN in another country.

@Orph30 It appears you are on mastodon.social. Local is not geographic. The Global timeline is any other instance that is federated to Mastodon.

@mcg is it possible to limit public posts to a local instance (so only logged in accounts?)

@Orph30 it's a timeline of public posts in the instance you're connected to.

@Orph30 It should just be anyone on this particular instance.
