Timeline should not be focused on posts from local server. It should be tag oriented. I think it would be better to show users posts about their interests and hobbies from all around the network, on whichever sever they were posted.

What if I started my own server, just for me to manage my own data? What would "local timeline" look like then?

You might be right from a purely theoretical perspective, but through the way the ActivityPub federation mechanism works, there' will be an inherent difference between local content (in easy reach on the same server) and remote content which would require additional HTTP requests to make sure you have the latest versions of the objects related to it (authors, recipients, etc).
