Yes, that may be a solution: Single-user groups to sort content. And as even groups with the same name have different URLs (as stemming from
different instances) there will be no confusion or intrusion of unwanted content.
Instances, IMO are not places but conversations (or: doors into communication). They have their own atmosphere, grow their own reputation, they rise and vanish.
The "house-landlord-tenant" image involves a hierarchy that neglects the mutual dependence of user and admin, and the mutual responsibilities thereof.
Forget the technicalities and the hardware. The fediverse and its instances are a far more floating and evanescent thing.
To put it even more in visual language: What we are doing (with the use of technicalities and infratstructure) is:
* Instances are not *places*. Instances are not places at all but *conversations*, most often mingling with others farer away.
* Accordingly, not only are users dependent on their hosts but hosts are dependent on their users as well, for the quality of the conversations that take place, the atmosphere that rules the instance, and the reputation the instance "acquires" (or rather: *grows*) from that.
Obviously one should support the host/admin in the various ways that are possible. But an instance is not an "appartment buidling" in which the landlord deals with raucous tenants ("My house, my rules"). Nor is it a "community". It's voices mingling, and ideas taking advantage of that, pursuing their own goals and destinations.
#nuclear (given climate change its risks are minuscle compared to other means of electricity generation incl. renewables)
#peakrenewables (my hunch that, given supply issues, environmental impacts of mining and production, economic cost-benefit ratios, etc., we already face the peak of construction of renewables; idea: we're set to see a stagnation, even shrinking, not an increase in the construction of renewables)
#postdoom (not scientism nor blind faith in technical progress (which usually ignores the social fall-out) but the stance that the complexity of our world is the main source of hope and the main reason why the chatter of doom is less about reality but a psychology)
#rain (we have too little where I live; and I love its sound)
#renewables (mostly technical developments, liabilities, and economic viability)
#sources (instead of "bookmarks" a collection of info sources that caught my eyes)
#talkingtomyselflettingyoulisten (personal musings in which I develop (or rather: follow the trait of) thoughts and ideas; not to provoke, or troll, or to invite heated discussions)
I think you can learn more about a person when you listen to her tone of voice, her manners, and only to some extent via her interests. With regard to the latter, an annotated list of my tags may suffice.
#batteries (although in the context of infrastructure, energy, climate, less as hardware or essential building blocks but as objects on which people put their misguided hopes on)
#counterculture (I went along with it for many years, now I primarily think about its negative impacts; historical interest)
#ecocolonialism (from the perspective of how Greens and Progressives offset environmental costs on poor nations when trying to jump-start their green economies)
#energy (broad category, includes "renewables", "nuclear", often "infrasturcture")
#federation (how its technical aspects create the conversations-based foundation of the Fediverse)
#fediverse (history as well as present and future developments of something that is more than the Mastodon-network)
