I’ve been having a hard time finding the “perfect” Mastodon instance (for me).
Mastodon.social is obviously the biggest one, but every time I check the Explore tab, it’s people complaining about Twitter/Threads/Reddit/Whatever. It’s mostly people from a side of Twitter that I never really interacted with. I want a little bit more humor in my feed.
I’m curious what instances the people of sh.itjust.works are using. Hopefully I can find one that vibes with me.
i like fosstodon.org, lots of nerdy posts but it’s right up my alley. I use arch linux btw.
Unfortunately I don’t have any tips, just wanted to say I’m on mastodon.social as well and man I agree about the explore tab. It’s no fun at all to go over there. Same few accounts, same few whiny posts.
Hachyderm is my instance. It’s heavily influenced by techy people, but there’s a bit of everything there. Strong culture of safety for social justice - some of the most followed LGBTQ and Black accounts post from there. I’d highly recommend.
Others I’ve enjoyed browsing are indieweb.social and toot.community
