The Misskey wave of august 2021

local timeline of a well curated community is one thing I miss. I still wish there was a way to become a satellite of a community, or have federated timeline be a combination of local communities you connect with. (either as satellite or as allies sort of) then what is visible to you.

@selea the federated timeline is pretty much useless for me. I exclusively use the local timeline to find interesting people to follow. Especially on small instances like social.linux.pizza, I feel I could find people who vibe with me through the local timeline better.

HomeTown is a fork of Mastodon which lets you make instance-only posts, adjust character limits and read long form rich text blog posts.

It's still part of the Fediverse, and HomeTown users can interact with Mastodon users totally fine.

Non-tech people can use a managed hosting service to start their own HomeTown instance:
