Yes, that is exactly the problem.
Although it might be better to say that that's the manifestation of the real problem. The real problem is that I want to be able to talk about books sometimes, even though I'm a musician so I registered on the musician instance. If there's a way for me to have conversations about books, I don't care whether it's an "instance" or not. I just don't want to manage two separate accounts. (As an end-user, none of my end-goals mention the word "instance".)
- jancsika 8y agoYeah, I guess I'm confused about why an instance has any topic whatsoever associated with it. For a federated design I'd assume the main difference among instances to be code of conduct/ToS.
- opan 8y agoI've been on one Mastodon instance and one Pleroma instance. Neither really had a set topic, and both pulled in some toots from other instances that were "similar", but my posts are about anything I want, as they would be on Twitter.
- jaequery 8y agoSlack also have this same "problem" but strangely enough, it didn't stop them from growing as they are now.
