I just downloaded the app to see what’s all the hype about, and once again, I’m asked to pick a group, in this case, a server.
I suppose it’s like Lemmy instances, so, is there a general one, or an equivalent of lemmy.world in terms of size, interaction, and so on?
My mistake if I’m understanding things wrong, thanks!
Among the biggest there are mastodon.social, mastodon.online, mstdn.social, mas.to and mastodon.world. As usual I guess it would be preferable to join in a not so big instance as to reduce centralization. The local/federated timeline is the wild west anyway, its built on your follows.
Granted I never used Twitter so I might be using Mastodon wrong.

The local and federated timelines should be a firehose of every post, irrespective of your follows. Your “home” timeline is your follows.
I meant “(mastodon) is built on your follows” not the local and federated timelines. Because at least I couldn’t deal with the local/federated feeds and has to search for people to follow instead
