I have had an account on a Mastodon+glitch server for over a year. Lately, I am noticing unknown Masto account posts in my timeline. Any ideas?

Aside from the hashtag hypothesis, there are multiple timelines on Mastodon: trending, local, and global for example. I'm assuming you didn't suddenly accidentally start looking at a different timeline but still worth mentioning.
