c18.masto.host remains open to new members with an interest in the #18thcentury!
I started this instance on 1 Nov. 2022 in order to establish a home for colleagues in interdisciplinary global #18c studies (with many neighbors joining from #17c and #19c). We had a big push of new members in November and December, along with a donation drive to cover server costs. Early this year, many created placeholder accounts but were not yet ready to dive in. As the community grows, I hope they return!
I would like to apologise to a group of new followers who were placed on a list awaiting approval. I did not know that this was the case. As soon as I became aware of the situation, I promptly accepted their requests.

With the latest wave of users to the #fediverse from the new #TwitterMigration, it really feels like we might have reached a new threshold on #mastodon to catapult the site onto the next phase of its story. Or am I wrong?
