    I use fedilabs. Works very well. Allows hashtag-following following the public feed of a remote instance multi-account with cross-account actions

      This is a pretty good example tbh. consider:

      make a twitter account, you can see what’s popular and tweet insults at celebrities

      vs

      make a mastodon account, you can use fedilabs to allow hashtag-following following the public feed of a remote instance multi-account with cross-account actions

        Hi Kux,

        The problem I see here, is that you then also need to explain why following a remote instance might be interesting, . which means that you need to explain how the fediverse has led to the existance of specialised instances. (which means that you also need explain that the fediverse is more community driven).

        "even though you can be on one instance (as you really like the community overthere, and it the posts have a good signal-over-noise ratio), the ability to follow remote instances does still allow you to follow other instances (read: other communities) … after all … most people do are interested in several things, no? "
