Hey I was kinda trying to get to use Mastodon. What instance do you recommend?
Not mastodon (something better), but I recommend mk.absturztau.be or fedi.absturztau.be :3
I have even less clue about what is this and how it works, but I'll still check out, dear Internet stranger
Foundkey (first link) or Akkoma (second link) are services that are compatible with mastodon (ActivityPub, also works with Lemmy), but have more features, like emoji reacts.
@lazy_digestive right now I am part of a mastodon instance dedicated to the competitive Super Smash Bros community. I am a tournament organizer for Rivals of Aether, which is also a platform fighter (the same genre as Smash). A lot of people who play Rivals came from the Smash community, so it made sense for me to make an account on this instance as its a general community I am part of. I'd say try finding an instance for an online or IRL community you are part of and try to join.
@lazy_digestive On Mastodon, you have an additional "Local" timeline which is a timeline showing all the posts of the people in your instance. So you can stay connected to people through that. I know a lot of the larger instances can feel impersonal because of their size, and a bunch have turned off signing up for new accounts because of a large amount of people wanting to sign up from the Twitter exodus last year.
