@kushal @naukarshah @naukarshah @prasanna_s Does that mean I being on a different server is having reach to a lesser number of people?

@Memeghnad@prasanna_s @naukarshahFediverse is how we refer this interconnected federation of servers like federated of states in India with their own managing policies. Free Software suites like Mastodon, Pleroma, Pixelfed, etc are being used to power these servers.My favorite instance is social.coop which is a mastodon instance managed cooperatively by all the members in it.#Fediverse is how Web should be.

@prashere @naukarshah @prasanna_s Sorry but I have a bunch of n00b questions.So how do I join social.coop and should I join it?What happens to the current account I'm using? Will all the followers from this one move to the other one?Is there a general instance where I can just be @Memeghnad and not @Memeghnad?

@Memeghnad @prashere @naukarshah @prasanna_s Even I'm not sure about all the details, but my understanding is people can follow you across communities. Each community can have it's own set of rules. I think the point of moving to a bigger and reputed server is that that server would be better funded and possibly more mature rules and admins.

@Memeghnad @prashere @naukarshah @prasanna_s It's kinda like staying in your apartment. You still get news from other apartments, but you have a set of rules in your community you need to adhere to. You can choose to be active or just follow the messages.

@varkychen @prashere @naukarshah @prasanna_s oh alright. Ok that makes sense. So it's like a subreddit with mods. People can subscribe and post there or just browse around?

@_Sattam_ @naukarshah @naukarshah @prasanna_s Btw, please remember to enable 2FA on your account here, it helps a lot against script kiddies and other phishing attacks.

@MemeghnadTo join social.coop you need to fill out a form in their website along with which they provide their operating principles. It is not necessary to join the instance unless you want to strengthen that cooperative instance.In general, any large instance is not a good sign of a healthy fediverse, because too they may become too concentrated and centralized for a decentralized web. For example mastodon.social has a user base around 3 lakh users which is bad in my opinion.Instead we could collectively self-host our small server with our friends and have the registration open only for our friends through invite link and collectively manage it or join such imstances via your friends. Free Software movement of India is hosting a pleroma instance at fsmi.social and at Pondicherry we host a small instance at connect.fshm.inTo answer your question on account migration, you can export and import your followers and your posts in another instance but that feature only partially complete as the question of managing identity is a challenging problem.We could use mastodon.social as entry point into fediverse, explore it and at any point in time migrate to another instance. Mastodon provides option to mark you account as moved to new place pointing to the new account as well.@prasanna_s @naukarshah

@_Sattam_ Hi. Yes and no. Every Mastodon Instance is an indipendent server with his own rules, policies and moderation. Said that, every Instance is in connection with the others (you are on mstdn.social and I am on mastodon.bida.im) somehow like email works (a gmail account can send an email to a yahoo account, right?). Hope that this will help you to understand how Mastodon works. 😊 @naukarshah @naukarshah @prasanna_s
