    I keep seeing posts here about wanting instances to be subreddits, like “oh this is the BMW instance, you can only post and talk about BMWs”. I think that’s the wrong way to look at it. I want our instances to be like old forum communities, with the added bonus of being interconnected with OTHER communities as well!
