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?
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.
LOL you run all of those Ruud! LOL
I run 11 fedi servers in total.
certifiable. LOL
Linux.pizza because it had open registration at the time I created an account and I am interested in both, Linux and pizzas.
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
mathstodon.xyz
It’s for people who like mathematics, I found it through a educational YouTuber. It seemed like a good fit for me, plus the name of the server is great.
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 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 mas.to. Chose it because it’s got a decent UK presence (but isn’t a UK-specific server), is quite popular, and the admin runs it well.
Same.
It’s a good, well-maintained general server. But its not the big default server, which tends to attract spam bots and risks being defederarated from the rest of Mastodon.
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.
Ah! I’m on Mastodon.world!
EDIT: You also asked for why. Well, I wrote a blog post about it, actually…
I’m on neovibe.app however federation over there is completely broken right now
Update on this, federation on neovibe is fixed now
kolektiva.social, the name is cool and it allows 10 000 long posts. Also, it’s an anarchist instance and being an anarchist I kinda like that.
tech.lgbt/ it’s a bit self explanatory lol
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.
Just don’t join any big instances. It will kill the purpose of fediverse.
Go to official mastodon site. lot of instances is listed there. Choose whatever instance you think will surve your purpose :)
I’m on mastodonapp.uk for the same reason I’m on feddit.uk; I sought out a local instance.
