Here's a thing that makes Mastodon instances work less well than they could...
when you visit an instance, all the front pages look the same.
"About this instance" is a TINY little link under the sign-up form. This is crazy.
Instances should LEAD with a community description, not bury it.
That's like a newsgroup leading with the OS it used to run the newsgroup rather than saying: "This is a Kenny G community"

@BradyDale @mattskala The homepage can be totally redone - I've seen a few users deploy versions of mastodon from private forks.

@wogan @BradyDale @mattskala maybe beacause instances weren't made to become communities ? but only account creation.
Shall we end up with local tl and create other types of instances? : connectors that don't create accounts ( extreme thinking ;)
