for anyone new this is a good spot understand how this all works - https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/Using-Mastodon/FAQ.md

@Stonekettle - The Local Timeline only shows public posts made by users on your home instance. - The Federated Timeline shows all public posts from all users "known" to your instance. This means the user is either on the same instance as you, or somebody on your instance follows that user.
