You know what I mean. Instances may be based on anything, but some are based on geography, and so it makes sense for communities also based on those aspects to be based on such instances.
Yesterday I came across a post “what’s your favourite book based in Melbourne?”, which was on a community on an Australian server. I’d assume communities about Australian rugby (or what’s it called) would also be there.
Geography-based instances also partially solve the problem of duplicate names, so you can have c/Manchester on different country instances.
I have a english language GalaxyWatch community located on feddit.de
Well the problem also is that instances don’t let you make a community if you come from elsewhere, and one can’t set their community to not appear under /All.
I wonder what comes first, if these features or instance-blocking.
