Following another user will make all of their toots as well as other users' toots which they [boost](User-guide.md#boosts-and-favourites) in your Home column. This gives you a separate timeline from the [public timeline](User-guide.md#the-public-timeline) in which you can read what particular people are up to without the noise of general conversation.

There are no official mobile Mastodon apps for iOS or Android at this point. However, there are several third-party apps in development; you can find a list of these [here](Apps.md).
#### The Public Timeline
#### The Federated Timeline
Mastodon has a "Public" timeline, which is a collection of all public toots made by all local users as well as posts from remote users that are federated (because someone on your instance follows the remote user making the post). This is a good way to meet new people to follow or interact with, but can be overwhelming especially if there's a lot of activity.

![Public Timeline icon](screenshots/public-timeline.png) To view the public timeline, click the "Public Timeline" icon in your Compose column or the respective button on the Getting Started panel. To hide the public timeline again, simply click the "Back" link at the top of the public column while you're viewing it.

#### The Local Timeline
In addition to the Federated Timeline, there's also a "Local" timeline, which only shows public toots made by users on your home instance. This is quieter than the Federated timeline, and useful if you want to stick close to your instance's community without having too much noise from outside. To view the Local Timeline, click the ![Menu icon](screenshots/compose-menu.png) Menu icon on the Compose pane and then select "Local Timeline" on the rightmost column.
