@Gargron noob question is there any technical reason I would want to? Like too many on one server?

@martyphee @Gargron
1. A more focused local timeline.
2. Some instances are starting to limit mastodon.social. (I don't agree with this, but I'm not an admin.)
3. Eugen is inundated and may understandably never see this. (Or maybe he will. He's superhuman.) But my smaller instance admin replies to me.

@rossabaker lol. Didn’t really understand the timelines differences. Now I do. I’ll get there eventually ;-)
