tallship<p>Reprinted from the <em><strong>Fediverse-City</strong></em> Matrix room, with permission from the author (myself):</p><p>I was just participating in another discussion elsewhere on the connotations and perceptions relating to a <strong>global</strong> feed of the entire known Fediverse, as it pertains to what various platforms call it (in their selector tabs).</p><p>Lots of suggestions, and every platform uses a different nomenclature. Some use 'global', some use 'live', and there's a few others as well that try to convey that type of extremely busy feed.</p><p>But then I touched on the subject of <em><strong>Local</strong></em> feeds - not all Fediverse platforms utilize this type of concatenated feed. I related that the <strong>Hometown</strong> fork of mastopub was [at least one of] the first to incorporate this as both a feed, and a type of post that is localized to only that particular instance.</p><p>I also, because I've read his contention, included the Dev's reasoning on having such a utility as a feature - because he intended <em>Hometown</em> to be a Fediverse platform that could encourage a Highly localized "community".</p><p>So you can select the other various, common types of scope for a post when making a post, as well as posting something that is only viewable to other users on your local instance - thereby supporting the 'local community only' aspect that has eluded and mostly deluded users on other platforms.</p><p>Why <strong>"deluded"</strong>, because having a Fediverse account in the minds of most folks coming from the deprecated, monolithic silo space is something that has been heavily promoted by Fedizens as one of the reasons why it's better to use the Fediverse instead of those impersonal deprecated silo systems.</p><p>And that's simply not true.</p><p>Take me, for example. I have several accounts and interact using them with different circles of people (I won't get into the power of recursive circles as they were implemented in <em><strong>gplus</strong></em>). So I'mma just use <code>mastodon.social</code>, one of the biggest monolithic-like silo instances in the Fediverse, as an example here.</p><p>People there, most often n00bs from the November Rain or later) talk about the sense of "community" they have there, when they're really only speaking of the connections they have by following and being followed by not just people on that instance, but across the entire Fediverse.</p><p>The sense of community that almost everyone in the Fediverse perceives is mostly a compilation of the follows and followers that they each have, and is unique to themselves alone.</p><p>For example, I prolly know 4 or 5 people on each instance I have an account on. My <em>community</em> is comprised almost entirely of the direct connections I have made with others across the Fediverse at large, and yes, people on platforms with 'local-only' feeds to see my posts, know them to be local, but so do folks on other instances watching their 'global feeds' (or home feeds where someone they follow includes a follow of my account).</p><p>So to me, in my experience, my community is comprised of those who I've made connections with and the people they are connected to, with very little traffic from the local instance I am on at any given time.</p><p>To think that you're going to have a community on <code>mastodon.social</code> consisting of people primarily from that instance is a bit naive, IMO, coz your default feed grows exponentially with foreign user's posts the more you connect with anyone - not just the people you follow that are local to your instance. You see something, you interact because it's interesting, pertinent, or relevant to you - you don't do that because you've discerned that you will only interact with local accounts... that just ain't natural, human tendency.</p><p>So the creator of the <em><strong>Hometown</strong></em> fork realized that one type of vehicle in the feature set to mark this kind of delineation was that of the ability to post and see in your feed, <strong>local only posts</strong>, with the overt assertion that <strong>Hometown</strong> is a fork that in part, is a platform that can facilitate the social diaspora consisting of a 'mostly local' community.</p><p>Even entire instances, named or stated as localized geographically or topically, as having publicly open registrations miss this mark in a big way - people for whatever reason, want a Fediverse account, pick a host/instance, by whatever criteria, and then inadvertently end up creating their own diaspora of social connections across the entire Fediverse anyway.</p><p>nostr, Bluesky (when it eventually fully supports other instances), Threads (yeah, I know, it's a bastard, lolz), <em>Minds</em>, and other, bigger instances or monoliths, don't try to capitalize on this notion of "Your instance is your community" because overwhelmingly, it just isn't the case in reality.</p><p>I'm not saying that there aren't Fediverse instances are successful in cultivating small communities consisting of connections with others on those particular instances, but the most successful of those are the instances that have actually disabled Federation on those instances, lolz.... There's lots of examples of that, which is kewl - to each their own.</p><p>But the tendency of everyone to follow the <strong>Ew! Shiny!</strong> paradigm of simply liking and following what you like irrespective of whether it's on your local instance or not is the lions share of how people interact with each other.</p><p>Your thoughts, observations?</p><p>Attached graphic attrib: A Jack Russell, happy as can be, sitting in the pilot's seat flying a Cessna, not knowing WTF he's doing.... but he's really happy!

Andrew Wooldridge 🌱<p>I encourage you to make regular <a href="https://social.yesterweb.org/tags/backups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>backups</span></a> of your <a href="https://social.yesterweb.org/tags/follows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>follows</span></a> in <a href="https://social.yesterweb.org/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastodon</span></a> so that if your instance disappears, you will still have all your social networks intact and you can migrate relatively painlessly. I wish I could have done that for my <a href="https://social.yesterweb.org/tags/twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>twitter</span></a> account ...</p>
BeAware :fediverse:<p>I see people everywhere on <a href="https://social.beaware.live/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> say that "this is not like <a href="https://social.beaware.live/tags/Twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Twitter</span></a>, people don't clamor for likes and RTs and <a href="https://social.beaware.live/tags/Follows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Follows</span></a>"</p><p>Speak for yourself, but I LOVE having people interact with my content. There's literally no reason for me to be here posting my content if nobody sees, reacts, or cares. If. Mastodon didn't have <a href="https://social.beaware.live/tags/Boost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Boost</span></a> or <a href="https://social.beaware.live/tags/Favorites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Favorites</span></a> I probably wouldn't be here, nor would a lot of others, I feel.🤷🏻♂️</p><p><a href="https://social.beaware.live/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://social.beaware.live/tags/socialmedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>socialmedia</span></a></p>
