Would love a #mastodon pro to explain to me how to use the #federatedtimeline because I just don't get it. I open that thing and it's like super speedy scrolling and so much stuff is kinda not my thing like a bunch of young anime girls?

i just keep that timeline closed but surely it must be intended for some particular use....

Hint 1:
Go into the settings and leave only those languages unchecked that you want to read; this should significantly reduce the number of toots you see.

Hint 2:
Mute the authors that you don't want to read. You just hit the "..." under one of their toots and then select the mute option. This is especially nice to deal with news bots.

Now the federal timeline should already be much more readable.
