#InstanceHopping

Dear friends, I would like to ask if you are offended by my trying out so many self-hosting apps like Mitra, Mastodon, GoToSocial, and others—installing, reinstalling, then deleting or abandoning accounts, and then reinstalling again and following you. Some of you have expressed that you are offended, and some others didn't follow me back, perhaps because you think my account is not going to last, lol. However, I can say that my @kaeurenne account on Mastodon Social, Newsmast Social (@kaerisonic), and Flipboard Social is stable, lol.

There's a lot of (OK moderate) move of people I follow to Firefish of late. I admit I've got my beady eye on it (not the defunct Liam Gallagher band).

On the #fediverse, being on a smaller, less broadly connected instance makes it less likely to discover interesting accounts to follow, even though I actively read my local timeline and follow a lot of hashtags.

Is #instanceHopping already a thing? Switching instance from time to time in order to discover new people on the way.
Or is Mastodon’s migration process still too lossy?
