tinyrabbit Does anyone here know what Mastodon means by "remote statuses" on the public timeline? https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/timelines/
# tinyrabbit where and how are those collected?

# nightpool[m] tinyrabbit: Remote statuses are just statuses that aren't created by local users.
# tinyrabbit nightpool[m]: I got that much :D but how are they selected? Are they the public posts of people who have followers on the local instance?
# Talec tinyrabbit: I think so, yeah
# Talec IIRC there's some kind of threshold that needs to be reached, like a bunch of locals following that account, before it happens

# Grishka tinyrabbit: I'd assume it's simply a feed all public posts a given instance receives
