Your statement is a hint to the problem.
From what I find on the Internet, you can still communicate/follow people on other servers without getting their timelines. It's just that the default setting is to pull everything from those relays and you need to disable it.
With that setting, you'll get everything people you follow on other instances, but not more. The "Federated timeline" tab will remain empty.
