I am not much of a microblog user, neither actively engaging nor regularly passively consuming content from the likes of those services. But I like to dabble every now and then. I signed up for home.social a while back but it seems they shut down and am now looking for alternatives. I really like it here at Beehaw, so I ask: What is the Mastodon equivalent?

If you are a tech related person I like hachyderm.io

Second that. Hachyderm was the community that got me into the fediverse and it’s remained extremely high quality as it’s grown. The mods are thoughtful and—as far as I can tell—transparent.

I joined mastodon.social and just haven’t had the energy to switch (I wish you could bring your posts with you)

But hachyderm sounds awesome

Mapstodon also neat for map folks

I'm a mod on mendeddrum.org, for all the Pratchett aficionados out there. It's pretty chill, our admin doesn't tolerate any kind of dick behaviour, and it's nice.
