What's the difference between timeline and discover, I wonder.

I also wonder what feeds are. I guess I should read the documentation how about that.

@abucci Oh boi! 😅 I'm a bit embarrassed by my slackness here 😅

The main difference between the "Timeline" and "Discover" is quite simply this.

- Timeline contains only Yarns/Twts of feeds you directly follow.
- Discover contains only non-Bot/non-Automated Yarns/Twts of anything on your feed.

The later of which helps with discovering the wider ecosystem and other users and so forth -- especially so on a multi-user pod (which is the default configuration).

In either case, they are just "Views" of the cache, everything is in chronological order, there is no algorithm (besides sorting) going on, etc.
