Remember forums? Remember how you had to have a separate account on every single one? Remember how you stuck around some forums, but not others? Treat it like that.
- gargron 6y agoBut it's not like that, you don't need to create a separate account on every single one. You can follow any account on any server/community from just one account. That's the big difference/selling point. It's the "local timeline", an optional discovery feature, that adds the incentive to create more accounts; but there are definitely ways to circumvent it. Many communities expose their timeline publicly and there's almost always a public profile directory so you can see who's on that server/community to follow them.
- marcinzm 6y agoForums had a public discovery and consumption mechanism. You didn't, for the vast majority, need to create an account to see what the community was like.
