What determines the content in my "local timeline" here?
I'm seeing content that doesn't seem geographically local at all!
@sarahk it's content from your local instance. In this case, Mastodon.cloud.
@sarahk they're toots from users registered on the same website you are.
@sarahk It's local to your instance, not your geography. Everyone on the same instance as you will show up there.
@sarahk People determine content. All the people that have signed up for this particular instance, that is. If you signed up from Mars, you could totally write in Martian here. :grinning:
