** Instance Recommendation : **
I don't have an account there, and am not familiar with it, other than reading their About pages, and seeing the admin successfully take on a migration from plain main stream Mastodon to a newer and more Feature rich Glitch Soc instance.
This migration seems complete, the site is up and responsive, so consider Koyu.Space -- even the name is cool. :)
Plus -- Important for me, European located, EU Hosted and under EU privacy and other laws.
(Not the usual US ones)
Not only they have a mastodon instance, but other services as well; see their uptime here:
🇳🇱
@design_RG I second this, Leonie, their admin, is an amazing person, runs a fair and excellent instance. Leonie even has an alt here on QOTO. They have said should the day come that koyu.space ever shuts down they want an account here as their backup, which is great to hear.
Either way at a minimum they are worth a follow. @koyu is their QOTO account. and @koyu@koyu.space is their remote one on koyu space.
@freemo @koyu @koyu@koyu.space
Good to hear a resounding endorsement like that, specially from a colleague admin. I saw the posts here earlier by Koyu, at the time mentioning they were working on migration to Glitch Social.
A 17 GB database conversion, with all the instance life, a hair raising experience. (although they had separate backups, but it's downtime until this is completed. Nerve wracking).
The instance was up and running when I read the post and went to visit, so I think they have completed the big job and are now resting. 😺
Sounds like a great place. Thank you for confirming my impression.
But wait -- is it Important which instance you are in?
Yes, I think so - and wrote a nice Blog page about it.
QOTO is a nice one (the reason you see me posting from here, and being a volunteer on staff).
But I am a traveler by nature, and love to explore other Cultures.
So, I do wander on other lands and Caravanserais.
