 ## Timelines
 
 Adding the parameter `with_muted=true` to the timeline queries will also return activities by muted (not by blocked!) users.
+
 Adding the parameter `exclude_visibilities` to the timeline queries will exclude the statuses with the given visibilities. The parameter accepts an array of visibility types (`public`, `unlisted`, `private`, `direct`), e.g., `exclude_visibilities[]=direct&exclude_visibilities[]=private`.
+
 Adding the parameter `reply_visibility` to the public and home timelines queries will filter replies. Possible values: without parameter (default) shows all replies, `following` - replies directed to you or users you follow, `self` - replies directed to you.
 
+Adding the parameter `instance=lain.com` to the public timeline will show only statuses originating from `lain.com` (or any remote instance).

 There is an additional `user:pleroma_chat` stream. Incoming chat messages will make the current chat be sent to this `user` stream. The `event` of an incoming chat message is `pleroma:chat_update`. The payload is the updated chat with the incoming chat message in the `last_message` field.
 
+For viewing remote server timelines, there are `public:remote` and `public:remote:media` streams. Each of these accept a parameter like `?instance=lain.com`.

 ## Not implemented
 
 Pleroma is generally compatible with the Mastodon 2.7.2 API, but some newer features and non-essential features are omitted. These features usually return an HTTP 200 status code, but with an empty response. While they may be added in the future, they are considered low priority.
