so! the "local" feed is the one that shows all the toots from our instance, the "federated" feed shows all toots from everyone that everyone on the instance follow. "local-only toots" are a special feature of glitch-soc where you can make your post *only* visible to the other members of the instance (in base masto you can only limit to mentioned accounts or followers). Local feed also will show you boosts from people on our instance, I'm not sure if there's a way to turn that off but if there isn't there should be bc that would be nice
Mastodon/Social WG#TODO: guides on how the different Mastodon/Feeds and Mastodon/Post Visibility work

Mastodon/Social WG Moderated Instances
new reports include a few spam accounts from mastodon.top, looks like a big general instance, though I can't actually see it because their certs are broken. going to ban the reported accounts and put the instance on notice, raising here in case anyone has any input on the instance
Mastodon/Social WG Getting hit with a lot of crypto spam reports from mastodon.social today. Some instances are temporarily limiting m.s till their mods wake up.
