Description
I noticed that configuration[timelines_access][trending_link_feeds] in the Instance response has separate properties for access to local and remote posts even though timelines/link doesn’t seem to support local or remote params.
Does this mean there’s no way for unauthenticated clients to request link timelines on a server where access to local posts in those feeds is set to public but remote posts require authentication, or vice versa?

Research direction
Review the Instance response's configuration[timelines_access][trending_link_feeds] properties alongside the timelines/link endpoint documentation. Determine whether local and remote visibility can be requested separately by unauthenticated clients, then clarify the endpoint documentation or configuration description so the supported behavior is explicit.
