The stuff I’ve seen on the local and federated timelines would likely make Apple deny the app. I stopped even looking at them, it was a nonstop porn stream at times.
Fair, especially for local timeline on the bigger instances like .social, but I can understand why LT is really important to people who use small or medium sized instances.
Yes I agree, local timelines are important for small instances, but this change only effects the iOS app, not Mastodon itself, and you are free to use another app or web-interface with Mastodon. Furthermore small communities are probably better off using a alternative Fediverse software anyways, as Mastodon is a very resource heavy software and not aimed at small instances.

That is how it has been to date e.g join the .art instance to hang out with art people etc but could be part of a push in a new direction
Nothing to see here
