My point is there could be a @taylorswift but it doesn’t matter because people know which account is hers.

Taylor Swift’s Twitter handle is @taylorswift13 and it doesn’t seem to be a problem for her.

Interesting. This explains why posts never seem to have more than a few likes on the small Mastodon instance I use. I have to say I’m not a fan.

This is exactly what worries me about this idea.

Thanks! All good now.

I’m getting “[200] Error while sending: Failed to send direct message” when I try to log in.

Thanks!

Interesting, the other numbers all match the graphs, but that one is wrong.

I would report it to them but it seems like you need a github account to do that.

June 11 here too lol

Beehaw might be a good one.

I think the best solution to this is a way to migrate an account to another instance, which I’ve heard is in the works.

I never realized the importance of squatting.

Thanks!

Thanks for the info!

Thanks! This got me some other stuff mixed in, but searching “flipboard.com” worked well.

How do I find the accounts to follow? Is there a list somewhere?

I like @DarthPutinKGB rounding out the list at #100.

That’s true. I guess I like the idea of being able to distribute a community across servers, but it may be more trouble than it’s worth to implement.

I personally don’t think this is a huge issue, but it is an issue. I usually pick the biggest community on a topic, or if there are multiple that are fairly active, subscribe to both/all. The only real complaint I have about it is that users will often make the same post to both communities, so I see duplicate posts on my timeline and the discussion is split in half.

I do think it would be nice if there was a way for community mods to choose to combine two communities across instances, in a way that they would appear as a single community to users. I don’t know how that would be implemented though.
