Went ahead and watched it. It’s great. Thanks.

It’s a good analogy as well. Others have suggested “home” - it’s a good alternative.

Sorry, I misunderstood you, then. :-)

@julesbl@mastodon.me.uk argues that this has been tried and failed here.

You might be right about being able to do almost anything whatever the instance you choose, as long as you already figured it all out, but having an account at a lemmy server, and two at two different mastodon servers, I do have the feeling that the presence on any of them is a different experience.

Don’t forget that what most people’s experience on the fediverse comes probably via mastodon and that they start by getting most of their content via home and local feeds. Federated comes third, i guess.

I am still struggling to find content on some of my preferred topics…

Thanks for the guide.

And the term would reinforce the need do stick to that entity rules. I agree.

That’s what I was thinking about.

I have to acknowledge the point @otter@lemmy.ca makes about there being a collision with the term “community” in the threadiverse perspective. Maybe “home” or even “tribe” or “people” would be a better fit. But I still do think that “community” encompasses the feeling best, and that collision will be promptly resolved once the user understands what communities really are on that narrower scope.

That’s maybe a compromise we will (have to | want to) make.

Once again - that’s my feeling, but I could be wrong.
