Overview

This node interacts with the Mastodon API to retrieve the public timeline from a specified Mastodon instance. It supports filtering options such as showing only local or remote statuses, statuses with media attachments, and limiting the number of results. This is useful for users who want to monitor or analyze public posts on Mastodon, for example, to track trending topics or gather public social media data.

Use Case Examples

Retrieve the latest 20 public posts from a Mastodon instance.
Filter the public timeline to show only local statuses with media attachments.
Limit the public timeline results to 40 posts for performance optimization.
