@geordie Maybe we could think of other ways to refer to it. Like, your Mastodon Club or Home.

(This is not sarcastic)

@lachlan I'm not sure. Is the problem the terminology? Or is it that people don't understand why it doesn't work like Tiktok where you open the app and it transparently does its thing?

@geordie I'm curious about that myself.
Maybe there's a little much emphasis on it - because once you're in a server, it doesn't tend to matter much.
(Still - slightly sad I can't have one account but on multiple servers - I'd like multiple local feeds)

@lachlan Is there no way to, say, follow a server?

@iamstevenrivers Ya know, I'm not sure. Except, now I want to find out.

Btw - there's a mended drum server? That's fantastic!

@lachlan @iamstevenrivers there are apps that let you follow local feeds from other servers. I use Fedilab when I want to do this. Pretty sure there are more.

@geordie @lachlan Using new words like instance doesn't help. Most have heard the word server.

@lachlan @geordie That seems more descriptive to me as well. Calling them fediverse clubs carries more of the social dynamic in the name. I'm going to start using that, thanks for the idea.
