The thing is, there's literally nothing between instagram and mastodon except the way it looks.
@gargron I think the limitations of Instagram have been important for its usability and popularity, even as those limitations have been eased over time. Single photo, square photo, no links, no reposts, downplayed text -- all those limits made Instagram a certain kind of thing for users.
I agree that Mastodon servers could implement those or similar restrictions, and I'd love such a service, but it isn't just appearance.
@npd From a programming PoV those limitation are just appearance
