just followed 200 people and now the federated timeline has a ton of people in it, even people i didn't follow myself and that folks is how you *actually federate an instance* not a follow bot just follow a good subset of people and let it branch out
@boots I feel like I'm missing something - isn't the federated timeline just all of the follows of all of the accounts on the instance? how does it end up including people who you haven't followed except if someone else followed them?
