A lot of instances would have average Facebook quality posts.
A few more demanding instances would emerge.
It would be nice to be able to access your local/neighborhood instance instead of the Facebook group
That's what I'm looking forward to most. I used Reddit for my local stuff (Vancouver/Canada), but still used FB for marketplace and local buy&sell things. Replacing all of that would be nice.
A while ago it was worse, where some organizations only had Facebook groups, or you could only buy a ticket/item through Facebook. That has mostly changed... to other proprietary platforms.
You mean local going into the direction of the metaverse-idea? That would be pretty neat (I mean metaverse without VR/AR)
Not sure if we are talking about the same thing, I was thinking about a city Lemmy instance, with communities for neighborhoods
I thought in the direction of location-based technology like Pokemon Go. Maybe this goes in the same direction? Could maybe be a basis for it. That's also what the idea of the metaverse to me: if you get rid of the VR stuff its an infrastructure for location-based services/technology.
Both could coexist indeed!
