 ===== Instances ===== ===== Instances =====
-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 yo move your account between instances though.

-  * https://instances.social/list 
-  * https://instances.noct.zone/ - supposed to feature instances with good admin policies, but doesn't really do a good job of that. For example witches.live and catgirl.science are not instance I would recommend.

-For using multiple accounts I like [[Subway Tooter]]. It's open-source, and on [[F-droid]].

I've done it before via [[Github]] and it was easy if you're familiar with the web interface. It feels kinda scrappy, but has lots of neat features.+For using multiple accounts I like [[Subway Tooter]]. It's open-source, and on [[F-droid]].

 The most popular [[Android]] client is [[Tusky]], and I keep meaning to try it again. When I first used it it didn't support multiple accounts, but it's had that ability for ages now. The most popular [[Android]] client is [[Tusky]], and I keep meaning to try it again.
