Hey friends! I’m looking to sign up for Mastodon and would love to hear what drew you to the server you are on? Also, what are servers with good reputation?
You must log in or register to comment.
Why, https://mastodon.world of course, since it’s also ran by @ruud, the admin of lemmy.world. I feel he knows what he’s doing with hosting better than most instances.
Well according to commenters and posters in some communities, they themselves are the smartest and should be running the show.
I’m sure they’re welcome to, if they want to spin up their own instances. :D
See that would require more than being a keyboard warrior
I use mastodonbooks.net to interact with fellow readers.
I’m on sciences.social, because I am a social scientist. There’s a number for different sciences that are good for keeping up with your field. I don’t know about other occupations but I assume they’re out there. Also, as with all things federated, the server doesn’t matter too much once you get rolling.
I mostly active on my own (non-mastodon fediverse) instance, I do have account on small instance, but it is collecting the dust most of the time.
Given you are on Lemmyworld, I think it is better to join mastodon.world. It is also owned and managed by te same people who runs lemmyworld. I like their transparency.I’m on mastodonapp.uk for the same reason I’m on feddit.uk; I sought out a local instance.
infosec.exchange, I don’t work in infosec but it’s a cool community
Linux.pizza because it had open registration at the time I created an account and I am interested in both, Linux and pizzas.
https://mastodon.social just as I am on https://kbin.social
I kept it simple.
Exactly. Same with https://pixelfed.social :P
I thing you can interact with Madtodon from kbin as well. It does both link/threads (lemmy) and microblog (mastodon). That’s also what “boost” does. If you boost a post or comment, you retweet (retoot?) it to your microblog.
I have 4 Mastodon accounts, 1 on Vivaldi (as I use this browser), and 3 on Polish servers. My main one is on 101010.pl (largest Polish, can read formatted posts), other ones are on pol.social and mastodon.com.pl. I was also on calckey.pl, but Calckey appararently was not ready for use - the instance is now closing down. I have a Polish /kbin account (on karab.in), and WriteFreely and Mobilizon accounts.
I’m on https://mastodon.world, but for personal stuff I created https://ruud.social and for hobbies I run https://pool.social and https://musicworld.social.
Oh and I also have https://calckey.world but I don’t post too much there.
I’m over at https://mastodon.gamedev.place and enjoy it a ton.
There are a number of prolific game designers as well as tons of indie devs sharing knowledge + life updates. A very cozy instance without any hateful BS.
deacon.social, as I’m Christian. It’s a niche community, but it works almost as well as the big instances, while defending the Federation system.
I’m on neovibe.app however federation over there is completely broken right now
leftist.network
Seems kind of self-explanatory…
I’m on mstdn.social. The admin is really cool, and the server is big enough to my liking.
Same. I like Stux and find a good general instance a great way to discover people and connect.
Outside of the one time he gut defederated with mastodon.art too reactively, he’s been a fair and good moderator. Not too open (like mastodon.social) and not to overbearing (like mastodon.art)
With that being said, I do plan on switching to a smaller one once I get some good connections and feel like I’ve done my part to support the Fediverse as a whole. Just find a nice server of queer goofy dorks like me.
Now that I’m more aware about federation things and more servers appear in the wild, maybe I’ll change to a smaller one too. But I’m too lazy, and I’ve already changed my first instance to mstdn.social a year ago.
