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.
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.
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
Linux.pizza because it had open registration at the time I created an account and I am interested in both, Linux and pizzas.
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
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.
Ah! I’m on Mastodon.world!
EDIT: You also asked for why. Well, I wrote a blog post about it, actually…
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.
I’m on mastodonapp.uk for the same reason I’m on feddit.uk; I sought out a local instance.
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 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 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.
infosec.exchange, I don’t work in infosec but it’s a cool community
That was one of the two that Deviant Ollam recommended in a popular video
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.
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.
