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!
Getting tired of all this choice. Can’t a large corporation just tell me what memes to like and what to think?
What’s the condescending attitude for? 🤨 I legit don’t know a single thing about the platform, my bad for asking recommendations as a new user like the normal average Joe?
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/federated timeline is the wild west anyway, its built on your follows.
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
I’m interested as well. Any list or explanation of different servers?
