Hey look, I've moved to qoto.org because it allows me to syndicate local timelines of instances that aren't accepting new users (looking at you front-end.social) not because I'm mad that I can't sit with the cool kids* but because qoto seems to be the only instance that has this feature.
*Gunna be mad about it for a bit. I'll get over myself.
@braindouche I'd take you in if I could! I don't think Mia was quite ready for how popular it got so fast. Maybe they'll be willing to scale up later on...
@sarajw awww, thanks :) it's honestly fine, it's not that I want to *be* on f-e.soc (with all the cool kids damnit), I just want to read it all and interact with the cool kids and also have them all in one place. I don't know why domain subscriptions still aren't a masto feature tbh, because this is great
@braindouche @sarajw Yeah, it seems like a natural extension, to create a list of hosts that you want to follow that isn't as overwhelming as the federated timeline.
Or just replace the federated timeline with an opt-in set of federated servers?
@AmeliaBR @braindouche I think one or two of the apps let you pick an instance to browse the posts from? Can't remember which, though ...
@AmeliaBR @sarajw qoto.org allows me to subscribe to instance feeds and either mush them into my home feed with the people I follow directly, or make custom lists of one or more instance feeds and it just makes so much *sense*.
I guess it would make less sense if mastodon gets over the hump and everyone runs their own mini-instance? But even then yes I do want to subscribe to my friend's server for their entire family and my company's corporate instance so... yeah. useful.
@braindouche You tell 'em! 😋
