So the Federated timeline is everyone?

@DNA Everyone that someone on your instance is following.

@DNA Not quite. It's everyone on your local instance + everyone followed by anyone on your instance.

@DNA It is everyone in all the instances that anyone in your instance follows

@DNA I *think* it's just everyone that is followed by anyone on your instance, not everyone in the system. But don't take my word for it, I'm new here.

@DNA As I understand it yes. I'm not exactly sure though.... maybe? :expressionless:

@DNA @iamjasonclark Everyone who is presently federated, yes. Some instances have already been added to a block list, and I guess they might federate within themselves?

@iamjasonclark it seems to be all the followees of all the people I follow.

@DNA Joking aside, it seems really hard to pindown. At first blush, it seems like it should be, but the more I try to figure it out it seems like its something like this:

If I, from instance a, follow billyBob on instance B then network A gets to know about all of that toots that billy persons knows about on network B. :thinking: I think. Probably wrong.

@ZedFable yeah, I'm getting slightly mixed answers, but, that's alright. =D
