Note that all of this reflects design decisions on Bluesky's closed-source "AppView" server—any federated servers interacting with Bluesky would need to construct their own timelines, and do not get the benefit of the work described here.

This is not true. Third party PDSes are fully supported by our app view, and our app view generates timelines for all the users on those PDSes.

What does this have to do with third party app views?

You didn't specify what kind of federated servers you were thinking about
