I'm curious about the scholar.social instance. It appears their local timeline isn't open to the public? Am I getting this wrong?

Federated or Public timeline is what you might be looking for.

Though on a debatable question: would you prefer a single image of all posts visible to each user or the current "federated" view?

Sorry if I'm not explaining this well. I'm basically talking about discoverability.

There was actually a seperate project called FediOnFire that was basically exactly that.
However, there's a certain group I call "the Fedi Mafia" that harassed and threatened the dev to shut it down because they think Fediverse is private for some reason.
