Great tool! Thank you for creating and sharing it!

The idea of developing a community discovery protocol as a subset of ActivityPub is a really good idea. Something similar to DNS could work but the problem lies in that DNS is fairly centralized and controlled. Look at what we have now with the political shit show that DNS has become. I think a whole new protocol would have to be developed to facilitate this. A community discovery protocol might share community lists between instances in a federated way for example - maybe much in the same way that ban lists are federated.

It seems they do. I just discovered this myself. Fuck all this goddamned hatred. I’m sick to hell of it.

I like Akkoma. It offers more features than Mastadon and its devs aren’t tankies like Pleroma.

There is that issue as well! I forgot about bandwidth.

Yeah, I dont think it’s a problem of lack of interest but one of resources. You literally need in the 100s of terabytes of storage space, especially for HD videos.

I’d like to believe that it can help stop bad internet bills. Or at the very least make them unenforceable.

It’s possible to bring your followers with you by doing an account redirect. On your old server and/or account, go to Preferences->Profile and then scroll down until you see move to a new account and click on the link. Then on your new server and/or account go to Preferences->Profile and scroll down until you see move from a different account and click on that link. Your follower will be alerted as to your new account. Right now you aren’t able to bring your posts over with you. Unfortunately it is not possible to even export your posts yet with Mastodon. A part of me is regretting not going with Akkoma or Calckey when I decided to redo my Mastodon instance because I believe those twitter-like alternatives give you the ability to export/import all of your data.
