Postgresql - Network timeline seemingly non-functional

[jk-na]

I can see from my pixelfed.social account that the network timeline is flowing nicely but on my instance, on the latest commit, and with a postgresql backend, it is entirely immobile only updating when my home timeline also updates.

I have PF_NETWORK_TIMELINE=true in my .env file and ran php artisan config:cache as per the norm but after 12 hours, I'm yet to see any unique activity on my network timeline that isn't on my home timeline.

I also note that the remote account layout on posts is different on pixelfed.social than it is on my instance.

on pixelfed.social the format is <accountname> from <domain>
on my up-to-date instance the format is just the webfinger norm of <accountname>@<domain>

Is this likely a postgresql oversight, or something else? How is the timeline populated?

This is probably exacerbated by #2721 (remote share not displaying on timelines) and #2520 (case issues in usernames on postgresql backed instances)
