#Pleroma -- my Blog post yesterday on Pleroma as an Alternative to Mastodon was surprisingly well received.
I have received messages from various people, asking for recommendations of good Pleroma instances to join.
And i am working on it. Serious. As I write here, I am logged in and chatting with friends I just met, all in various Pleroma nodes, that responded to my #introductions post there, thanking the admin for the service.
I will prepare a detailed Blog post, with more suggestions and reasons, but for now, kudos and a mention are appropriate.
Highly Recommended -- FAB
Also known as the German instance with the impossible to remember name, which is *completely accurate*.
Thank you to @absturztaube
#Instance #recommendation #Pleroma for FAB
** And while I will be writing the long form Recommended Pleroma Instances as a nice Blog post, I am giving an advanced Heads Up for the good people who already asked me for suggestions.
@mewmew gets one too. https://blob.cat/ looks nice from the outside (and from my inquiring into its listing at https://fediverse.network/blob.cat page as well.
And -- a first hand, user endorsement in this post, from a recent thread.
#Pleroma #Instances for #NewUsers #Recommended by this #FediReporter
Another reason?
MastodonT give you this kind of control.
ANY Background you want. Themes, galore. Here my new Pleroma workspace at FAB.
@fristi Fristi started, like a number of other #Pleroma Admins, at FAB (the instance also know by an unpronounceable name) (ok, it's Absturztaube -- https://fedi.absturztau.be/ )
...fristi started at FAB, like I was saying; and like many others, started her own Pleroma node.
FAB is also considered the Mothership, I am realizing. Like mastodon.social for this side of the network (except, FAB is much, much nicer and cooler. NO comparison)
And she has an AWESOME listing, on her own instances, of Kudos and Friends instances.
A great idea! Thanks, Fristi for mentioning -- this is prime #FediReporter material, upcoming Blog page will include mention and your list.
On Kartoffel.cafe Terms of Service, aka /about page -- just scroll down to "Associated Instances".
....and a question was asked recently, in our Discourse Forum. Right on my popular "Discover Pleroma" topic.
>> Is Pleroma still a thing and can there be a QOTO version of Pleroma?
Yes.
There's Work in Progress, a Qoto-Roma so to speak (being creative here, might not stick).
>> I have an account on QOTO and I want the Pleroma interface.
You would get it, as #Pleroma comes with two front end or User Interface options -- details in the post bellow!
>> Wondering if there is a ‘best of both worlds’ scenario there.
I am wondering too, as it's something I am getting adamant about.
Mastodon limitations are Intentional in some cases, and I am tired of waiting for progress.
I am charting my own course and sailing the seas, finding nice harbours and dropping in.
Won't stay using mastodon much longer, as I already have nice Glitch-Social and Pleroma accounts.
Hopefully it will happen here too, as I have a lot invested in this instance, my main account.
Pleroma project at Qoto ? Details in this post :

@absturztaube I have to investigate and snapshot all the cool settigns Pleroma has -- fantastic customization.
Like -- select what Font to use on the Toots diplay at our side? OMG!! Eugen would never consider that.
@design_RG I might register an account there a little later today, seems like a nice instance to try Pleroma. That’s what I got from a quick read of your post about it, right ?
@maique It is a wonderful and recommended instance, Maique. Do it, for sure.
@issdeinschnitzel @absturztaube
LOL, I wonder. 😜
Got to be German literate for it to stick it seems.
For most of us, FAB is the way.
@absturztaube
One small snapshot, TWO big reasons why.
This is a nice instance. #MarkDown and 60,000 characters post limit.
FAB, Pleroma love. https://fedi.absturztau.be/
