I know, right? It’s quite amazing how far they travel and how they find their way! Another pair (probably even the same pair!) was seen at the exact same spot last year as well.

There’s a homelab community, https://infosec.pub/c/[email protected]

For that to happen, I believe that interacting with people from other instances and moving your community and account from one instance to another have to become possible / easier.

At present, people flock to the instances with most users as those often have more local content (local content is generally easier to find than federated content) and they often have a smaller risk of shutting down. If I create a community on a smaller instance, the chance of it being found and interacted with are also much smaller than if it had been created on a bigger instance (because of, as I said, local content being user to find).

Sure, I can create an account on myfirstlemmyinstance.com (example URL, not an actual instance) with 10 users, but if my instance decides to shut down, my community of, say, 500 users will now have to move somewhere else and all old content will be deleted.

Ideally, I think no one instance should have a million users to begin with.

I run a PeerTube instance and the amount of people that try following my instance with exactly THAT type of content is… astonishing. It just seems like no PeerTube instance is properly moderated.

Thanks! Yes it’s my shot, I photograph birds as a hobby :-) I took this a few weeks ago with my old setup, my Canon 70D and a Tamron 150-600 mm lens. I upgraded to an R10 now. The location is Bielefeld, Germany.

And they are indeed beautiful. The females are really difficult to spot, though. They look just like the ground! Good camouflage.
