@Gargron until there is an easier way to hop servers I think I'll just stay here. Currently you basically have to make a new account per server. Mastodon needs a structure where the accounts are handled at a central hub and we can visit or join other servers similar to how Discord functions.

I strongly disagree with you there. Other than that it's not needed (there's no such thing for e-mail and that has worked fairly well for decades), it's not going to fly. How are you going to make all admins in the world, individuals, enterprises, governments and whatnot, submit their account info to one central hub? I know I'm not going to.

You could use something like OpenID to make account handling easier for your users, but a central hub of control is exactly what the Fediverse is not.

@neonshoji @Gargron Guys it doesn’t matter what server you are on as everyone can communicate with everyone else. You can move accounts to other servers that closer align with things you are interested in so your local feed is of more relevent interest. :)

@PragmaticOne @Gargron is it easier to do this via web browser? Because I can't figure out how to do that easily through the iOS app.
