<p>The <a href="/tags/forkiverse/" rel="tag">#Forkiverse</a> as a model: ie converting podcast audiences to an instance makes a lot of sense. </p><p>It helps people pick a smaller instance (which still stops people joining the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a>) and it immediately has reach beyond the community (unlike say a discord server)</p><p>If this was to become the norm though it would need to be very very easy to do and I imagine the cost of this will rack up pretty quickly.</p>
