I'm curious about the best way communities can be built using the federated structure of Mastodon. Have folks thought about setting up an #AAPOR instance or an #APSA instance?
Of course, part of what made Twitter great was ability to interact with different communities seamlessly. I'm interested in polling, but also cooking and national parks. Not sure that Mastodon's federated structure facilitates multiple different interest-based networks very well
@kwcollins I've seen it stressed here that hashtags in our posts are crucial for finding like-minded folk with shared interests.
@Creatrix @kwcollins I'm finding that following a bunch of varied #hashtags makes my Home timeline explode.
@gdinwiddie @kwcollins Yes, hashtags are kind of huge here, I've learned.
