Servers
Here are some links to help you pick your instance (give you an idea of what behaviour is expected, if there are any subject specialisations, etc). You will want to do more research into an instance before joining, because a lot are trash. It's now pretty easy to move your account between instances though.
- Mastodon has a list of servers. It's not very thorough, but a better starting point than just joining mastodon.social/.online: https://joinmastodon.org/servers
☞ There's been a lot of new servers recently, and this is pretty out of date
Maybe should add 'software' column.
