A recent post by Fedi.Tips had an interesting concept:
- On Mastodon, and others, everything is available as an RSS feed.
- You can follow an RSS feed.
So, if your instance doesn’t have much traffic on a tag that you want to follow, you can reach over, and follow the tag on another instance that does.

I am disappointed, because I had a project in mind where would be a key feature.
