To allow you to discover potentially interesting content, Mastodon provides a way to browse all public posts. Well, there is no global shared state between all servers, so there is no way to browse _all_ public posts. When you browse the **federated timeline**, you see all public posts that the server you are on knows about. There are various ways your server may discover posts, but the bulk of them will be from people that other users on your server follow.
To allow you to discover potentially interesting content, Mastodon provides a way to browse all public posts.

When you browse **Live Feeds** > **Other Servers**, you see all public posts that the server you are on knows about. There are various ways your server may discover posts, but the bulk of them will be from people that other users on your server follow.
There is a way to filter the federated timeline to view only public posts created on your server: The **local timeline**. Mind that “local” here refers to the server, not to a geographical location.
You can also filter the Live Feeds to view only public posts created on your server.

Mastodon's basic search allows logged-in users to find posts containing a specific hashtag, or to load a user or status directly if they know the URL or address. Searching for a term will show profiles whose username or display name contains that term, as well as hashtags that match or contain that term.

Admins may optionally install full-text search. Mastodon’s full-text search allows logged-in users to find results from their own posts, their favourites, their bookmarks and their mentions. It deliberately does not allow searching for arbitrary strings in the entire database, in order to reduce the risk of abuse by people searching for controversial terms to find people to dogpile.
@ -78,21 +78,16 @@ The following operators are supported:
* **-exclude** will exclude the term prepended by a minus sign. This allows filtering out certain terms, such as `animals -cats` to find posts about animals without posts about cats.
* **+include** will include the term after the plus sign. This allows searching for multiple terms that must be included, such as `cat +dog` to find posts about both cats and dogs.

In Mastodon, direct messages are just posts that have the "direct" visibility selected. Visibility can be selected per-post, which allows changing the privacy level later in a thread. The direct messages column currently shows a list of all conversations containing a direct post. Clicking on a conversation will load the associated thread.
In Mastodon, private mentions are just posts that have the "mention only" visibility selected. Visibility can be selected per-post, which allows changing the privacy level later in a thread. The private mentions column currently shows a list of all conversations containing a mention only post. Clicking on a conversation will load the associated thread.

## List timelines {#lists}
## List Timelines {#lists}
Lists are subsets of your home timeline. You can create a list, give it a name, and add users that you follow to that list.
{{< figure src="assets/lists.jpg" caption="A list of lists" >}}
{{< figure src="assets/lists.png" width="70%" caption="A list of lists" >}}
Opening a list will load that list's timeline. List timelines contain only posts by members of that list, as well as replies to you or to other members of the list. This can be changed to show replies to all people you follow, or to no one.
