THIS!
So. Much. This.
For a lot of #Under1000 instances the local timeline is the whole point of their mastodon experience and the lack of one in a client app is a showstopper.
Also the local timeline has little to do with "discoverability" either it's about "community building". People who use small instances can use the local timeline to stay up to date with what is happening "in their neighbourhood" without having to manually follow or make a list/group of everyone on their instance.
@ink_slinger @keithzg I've been running this place for 2.5 years and I'm still mystified as to how my federated timeline "coalesced" out of the ether, without relays, especially during the early time I was the sole user (active or otherwise).
I think the fediverse would be even better if every instance was #under1000 or #under100 because that makes content moderation so much easier and less emotionally draining.
Hi it's #WanderWednesday again where I wander around the fediverse looking at small #under1000 sites!

#FollowFriday #FF is upon most of us in the world but instead of @ ing people I think I'll suggest checking out small #under1000 and #under100 instances--cozy communities often centred around (but not limited to) special interests, like:
https://linernotes.club for music
https://retro.social for nostalgic tech
https://elekk.xyz and https://tabletop.social for games
https://mst3k.interlinked.me for a safe inclusive place to sh!tpost and just have fun
Any other smol servers you like?
@curator i know #under100 and #under1000 used to be hashtags for smaller instances to do introductions, but i'm not sure that they're active anymore
i've seen people use the #instances hashtag too but it's not limited to just introductions
