@Bowreality @dalcacer I think the friction lies in the context. Twitter is just "one app". Servers on Discord are highly interest based. The instances on Fedi are a bit more vague.
I think where the communication should improve is how your instance dictates your local feed, in that regard there is actually a slight similarity to Discord.
The only downside I see so far is that niche instances are still sparsely populated, which will change with higher adoption rates.
