@Extra_Special_Carbon Just pretend Mastodon instances (servers) are email providers.
Just because you sign up with an address at Gmail now doesn't mean you can't switch over to Yahoo later if they start offering better features.
@2018Patriot You can "switch" instances, but it's implemented as a data transfer and a forwarding address.
As for your second question, not sure. I'd bet there's a list somewhere.
@LouisIngenthron @Extra_Special_Carbon but i thought you could switch servers on Mastodon or am I mistaken? Using your email provider analogy, both Yahoo and Gmail allow email forwarding. How does one discover what features are supported/available on which instances?
