@boots I (currently) recommend starting an account at ephemeral.glitch.social; the federated timeline here is quite manageable I think... (for now at least...)
@boots Ohwait I think I misread your toot: you're looking to read the *technical* specification of how federation works; not necessarily to find a federated timeline that you can keep up with i.e. doesn't fly at 800 toots per minute...
(Kinda glad I'm on an ephemeral instance now ehehe)
