@ricciRob Ricci @thisismissemEmelia 👸🏻 local-only posts is something that people have beel asking for for ages and Gargron has always fought against it. That led to the creation of the beautiful Hometown, along with a beautiful guide on how to make your own community: https://runyourown.social/ . Gargron has always said that this is not the kind of community they wanted, they want a distributed twitter. So, blacksky is only doing what others that are not mastodon have been doing for some time now

How to run a small social network site for your friends

This document exists to lay out some general principles of running a small social network site that have worked for me. These principles are related to community building more than they are related to specific technologies.

@rakoo @ricciRob Ricci now that Gargron is out of the way, I really hope @mellifluousboxFelix Hlatky and @renchapRenaud Chaput bring local-only posts to mainline Mastodon. It'd be such a huge help to moderators & server admins, it's not funny, and that's before you even get to the needs of server-local communities that you *don't* want federating.

Also, custom collections support to support addressing for Groups would be fantastic. I know Jesse from Frequency already has an implementation of that on top of a mastodon codebase
