Services that have multiple instances

How are services that have multiple instances added to ToS;DR (such as PeerTube, Mastodon, Lemmy, Invidious, etc.), are they all under one service because sometimes different instances have different terms but for the most part they are the same.

Only recently did this start to pose an issue, and I agree.
I’ve thought about this, particularly after reviewing the SCP Wiki, which is part of Wikidot.

I’m not sure how we could handle this, but I’m thinking of adding a feature to “group services together” (or something like that) later on.

This hasn’t quite been discussed among Staff but I do agree we should consider discussing this with the community.


For now, guess we’ll have to continue with things as is, but keep this in mind.

I’m pinning this to the Phoenix Category as a reminder.

Even thought it is more work, I think each instance should be a separate service. I see right now that some are separate and some are combined. I also think that there needs to be a certain way to title them because right now there isn’t a clear way to title different instances.

I’m thinking that the instances should be added separately and the title should be “domain name (eg. mastadon.social), service (eg. Mastodon), Instance” or " what the instance calls itself (eg. FOSStodon), service, Instance"
I don’t like the second one as much because the instance might just call itself Mastodon or PeerTube, etc

Let me know what you think
