HedgeMage is a user on maly.io. You can follow them or interact with them if you have an account anywhere in the fediverse.
So how does this work? Why do you follow people if everyone pops up in the Federated timeline anyway? Or does not everyone?
@Lohenglamm The Federated Timeline is roughly the people followed by people on your instance. If no one follows anyone, it's the same as your local (instance) timeline.
Also, the Federated Timeline keeps becoming more of a firehose as my instance grows...I subscribe to individuals to keep a readable Home stream that interests me.
@HedgeMage Ah, thanks!
