FederalVerse, is there a way that I, a mere GentleHacker who does not administer my instance, can follow a specific server?

I ask because @ash and @phocks administer a lovely server based on the city where I live and I would like to see more posts from the folks there, and I'm not currently sure how to make that happen.

not sure there is a way to follow the local timeline of another instance mixed with your timeline, but some clients will let you pin a remote timeline for easy access. Here's how I can do it in Moshidon on Android, I think Mona on iOS can do it too.

Tap on a user on the instance, then tap on 'bne.social' on their profile, view server info, â‹® > Local timeline, then tap the pin in the top right. After that my home tab has a bne.social option in it.

Screenshot of Moshidon after tapping on 'bne.social' next to '@ash' on Ash's profile. The pop up explains what a Mastodon handle is and also has a 'View Server Info' button at the bottom.

Screenshot of Moshidon on the Home tab. I've tapped the Home dropdown thing at the top of the screen and a menu with the following is open: Home, Local, Federation, Posts, bne.social.
