Someone just came to me with an idea and I kinda like it and are willing to do it but I want your opinion first!  

Many people are following the 'famous' from Twitter to Mastodon but are having a hard time finding them..

I just bought the domain 'officials.social' and I could setup and invite only instance for more 'high profile' people so to say so everyone can more easily find them?

Before I proceed I like your input❤️

@stux naw you'll never convince everyone to register on your instance. it's like herding cats. easier to just have a directory just like we already do on several sites.

@stemid I know!   but a few would do already  

Only for those who feel the need

@stux use officials.social to setup a static site directory for high profile accounts instead. so we have one link to send people who are looking for these accounts. that way the high profile people still have the freedom to pick their own instance, but we can find them.

@stemid @stux Second that.

@stemid @stux yea I'm thinking this would be a good idea as well.

@stemid @stux this ☝️

To my very limited understanding, we should have more instances and the instances should be linked to the peoples domains. This is the best form of trust possible.

Sharing a directory of official big-name instances and people is a great idea while the #fediverse takes off.
