Kolektiva should split up into a bunch of mini kolektivas with different people hosting them

Would be nice if Mastodon had a way for that to happen but to join the timelines to still stay one community

@eris explicit "official" federation would be cool. like "disqordia and anarch.cc are joining together as The Discordant Anarchists Federation" but still remaining autonomous entities and then you could have access to that joined timeline as its own thing, separate from the broader "federated timeline"

@exiliaex Akkoma has a "Recommended Instances" timeline the admin can select instances manually for, and I've thought about that being a good way to branch into a feature like that... But I've also lost interest in the Akkoma project as it's sacrificed a lot of features and is run by one person
@exiliaex @eris this is kinda like what akkoma already has with bubble timelines. even without a technical interface though, it would still be a good idea imo to start forming federations like this with some shared principles -- strictly in a positive sense of like "we're all instances who are chill with each other, if you fit the vibe choose an account on one of them", not in a way to encourage more performative fediblocking drama mongering bullshit

like this is already kind of a thing in this corner of fedi where we all exchange badges with each other

@nyx @eris @exiliaex
the mastodon instance mastodon.bida.im has implemented this on its own with the "timeline autogestione" that gathers other italian speaking sister instances

@sirvoe @eris @exiliaex yeah conceptually it's pretty simple and probably wouldn't be hard to add to the various server implementations. I should try to patch mainline Pleroma with it.

@nyx @eris @exiliaex
I don't remember very well but I think the main annoyance is that since it's a customization it complicates updating the software version. I don't have direct experience with it though
