Disclaimer: I'm no IT expert/man. I'm just wondering what structure these instances should be.

Because as a new user:

  1. Communites catalog is messy: Redundant communities, Difficult to search for communities and tags and posts, No verifying way if a community does exist or not.
  2. I have still no idea to the idea (just one account could travel in any instances/servers). But I have a Mastodon, Lemmy and Kbin account [EDIT] and now Squabbles account [/EDIT].
  3. What if all other creators/mods establish communities/instances/forums in a same majority website (so might become Reddit Copycat eventually funnily, the essence of "Fediverse" left the chat---seems doesn't work at all).

So I ended up wondering ideas, just sharing, might help. May call me stupid of these already in advance, of course I have 0 IT knowledge.

BTW, why is the image of my post "stored" in archive.org anyway? Could I see the image in archive.org? (cause I know archive.org where I borrow tons of books.)

I also started to think about the concept where communities would not be local to the instance and they would work more like domains... kind of like BBS groups did. Individual instances would then just host subgroup of these.

But I think I found problem with that idea after reading your comment. Due to different moderation policies these wouldn't be (and shouldn't be) having the same content and contributors so they might as well be separate as they are.
