3 months ago does not return posts from folks I follow. It returns activity from my site.
Looking into this further, here is an example of an item returned by the endpoint:
First item returned in the JSON response

}The content is more interesting here ; I get the actual content of the post. It appears to be a post from someone I do not follow, but I see that that post was boosted by someone I follow ; this is how it got into my timeline.
When I hit return in my client, the post content has been replaced from Reblog of 731 to the correct information:
If I keep clicking on each "Reblog of" item, each post appears.
- Would it be possible for the posts' content to appear right away, in the
api/v1/timelines/homerequest? - Would it be possible for the posts to be displayed as boosts, so I can understand why they're in my timeline?
- Some of the content in the
api/v1/statuses/736call doesn't seem correct.account.acct,account.note,account.source.languageseem to return info about my own instance, maybe others.

When I installed this plugin, alongside Friends and ActivityPub, I expected posts from Fediverse accounts I follow (either by entering their handle in Friends' wp-admin settings or by hitting Follow in a third-party app) to appear in my timeline in third-party apps.
However, the
api/v1/timelines/homeendpoint the third-party application (Semaphore, for example) seems to call does not return posts from folks I follow. It returns activity from my site.I do see posts from people I follow in the
/friends/page on my site, though.How could I debug this further?
