How do I fetch my Mastodon home timeline?
Short answer: You can get mastodon home timeline in Mastodon by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Mastodon Get Mastodon Home Timeline action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ
Questions about Get Mastodon Home Timeline.
What does the Get Mastodon Home Timeline action do in Mastodon?
Returns recent posts from accounts the user follows. Useful for "summarise my Mastodon feed daily" or analysis-of-network-activity workflows.

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Mastodon returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Mastodon returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Get Mastodon Home Timeline support batch operations?
Run Get Mastodon Home Timeline inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Mastodon's rate limits.
