Mastodon q: in the 'advanced' Tweetdeck-style view, where does my 'Federated timeline' come from? Most of the people in it I've never heard of, and while I have no moral objection to the nude images of attractive women that some of the posts carry, they are distracting and a bit shit when in a public place.
@brucelawson The “Federated” timeline is the union of all the accounts that people on your server follow. So all the postings that are “federated” onto your local server.
Timelines:
Home - accounts you follow (from anywhere)
Local - accounts on your server
Federated - accounts followed by accounts on your server
I think Federated was more useful in the early (late 2010s) years of Mastodon, or perhaps today if you are on a smaller server.
@brucelawson federated timeline is the sum total of all public posts delivered to your instance, so any post appearing there is a public post either made by someone followed by someone on your instance or boosted by some one followed by someone on your instance.
@brucelawson Check the settings page for the option to “Hide media marked as sensitive” - which should blur out the posts labelled as rude.
If they’re not labelled as such, and your can visibly see their naked eye, then report the content to the Vivaldi admins who can either block them or mark those accounts as NSFW.
