One thing to keep in mind is that the technology behind #Fediverse , #ActivityPub , scales in resource use with primarily by number of instances, not so much number of users.
To put it a different way, it’s a much larger load on the system to add 50 instances, two users each, than to add one instance with those same hundred users.
Be careful pushing for far expanded numbers of instances, as the resource use to do that might not be sustainable.
@thisismissem Right now, channels aren't federated so they don't work like Guppe or Friendica. They're localized on each Calckey server. But there's plans to federate them.
I don't know the ins and outs of Channels, but would just like to point to the #Fediverse Enhancements Proposals. If Channels require new mechanisms it would be best to accompany their federation support in #CalcKey with a well-documented #FEP.
Yes, sorry. I am tooting fep, fep, fep, fep at every opportunity now that fedi has the momentum going, in hopes many devs will take the process in consideration 😅
@atomicpoet I was testing a Chirp group out the other day. But I think it functions similar to Venera( - like the Fediverse news group?) You can allow the group to be visible in main directory or hidden if 18+. Can manually approve members if wanted and also moderate posts and make announcements too
