The #Forkiverse as a model: ie converting podcast audiences to an instance makes a lot of sense.

It helps people pick a smaller instance (which still stops people joining the #fediverse) and it immediately has reach beyond the community (unlike say a discord server)

If this was to become the norm though it would need to be very very easy to do and I imagine the cost of this will rack up pretty quickly.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://theforkiverse.com/ap/users/115872076957299498/statuses/115876192699641007 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
