I think I want to run multiple instances due to instance blocking so I can see all my friends and news accounts I want to see.

Is there an app that consolidates feeds from multiple instances for you? Or one that lets you cross post to multiple instances easily?

@425suzanne With the flood of journalists now moving to servers that I can't see, I am considering this as well... I'd rather not move, but I need visibility on several instances that are not accessible now...

I'd rather not have to juggle accounts...

@BeardedRogue I'm in a similar boat.

@425suzanne Hey, at least the company on this boat is nice! Out of all of the options, this one has been the one that is the least problematic (better security, a desktop option, a decent phone app now that I am using a third party app), but it also lacks the scope of view that I need...

@BeardedRogue absolutely. i completely get why this instances mods keep a pretty tight lock on servers. I'm definitely not complaining about that. But I also don't judge my friends who went to mastodon.social (I have friends on an art server that's blocked too) and would like to stay connected to them.

@425suzanne exactly! I appreciate the walled off community but need more access to the wider world... I am not sure where I may have a second account pop up... Maybe a more activist oriented instance like kolektiva.social if they'd have me...

wandering.shop seems more writer oriented so likely not right... there are some game design ones that seem more video game oriented, but they might also fit the bill...

@BeardedRogue THAT'S a whole different issue. Finding a secondary or tertiary instance that's a reasonable fit... oof.

@425suzanne I have more money than time these days, so I am not about to start running one, but I am sure that I can find one that I can set up a second account on pretty easily if they have enough space... maybe even on one of the instances banned from here...

@BeardedRogue @425suzanne I was hoping to move to Tabletop Social, since my current instance seems to not care much about updating and I worry about stability. But, if TTS is blocking a large swath of the Fediverse...
