Single-tenant #instances are a ruthless attack on our planet.
#Mastodon is conceptually flawed with topical communities expressing themselves mainly via a local #timeline. Lists: poorly implemented. Federated #groups: a.gup.pe hacks
Look at the self-descriptions of any instance focused on a large #community, and ask yourself who could afford to *not* register at the *one* place where the *action* is.

Codeberg Accessibility
In #389 it was reported that text editors were not accessible yet. Given that such a central piece of the software it not accessible by screen readers (and spell checkers for the matter) yet, it's very likely that there are other UI roadblocks, too.Codeberg.org

Problem with introduction posts is they tend to get buried after a short while and depending on how many other instances yours may know about others someone's intro may not federate that well (or fast) with the rest of the network.
Plus, some instances like #mastodon only allow 500 characters in a post. Not a lot of room to write an introduction. 🙂
This was one of the use cases and goals I had for creating federated.community to kind of provide an alternative.
Anyway, to kick things off I've posted my own introduction and you're more than welcome to post one as well.
I also thought it would be cool to allow instance admins to post an "introduction" about their Instances too, so new users to the fediverse could find a little more information out about people's instances too.
Thoughts? Is this a good idea? What do you think?
