I feel like I need to find an #instance on Mastodon where folks in my local timeline would generally want to see most/all of my posts. But I feel like the folks on the science/astronomy/STEM instance aren’t going to want to see a lot of leftist/socialist/anti-capitalism stuff and vice versa. And then there’s the writing and poetry and photography and…etc.
The general instances seem so…big and don’t have that concentration of specialized posting I enjoy in the local feed. I know ppl say that what instance you’re on doesn’t matter that much, but I don’t want to feel like I’m putting out a bunch of stuff that others on my instance think is spammy. Is my Twitter brain viewing this wrong? Do I just pick an instance and #CW half my posts? #newbie #TwitterMigration #mastodon #MastodonTips #advice #HowtoMastodon
@clyminghawk some random guy from a different server "got mad" at me and "campaigned" various servers because i had multiple accounts lol , it even led to me being "banned" after my introduction post... never knew who that guy was, but i would say definitely find a local timeline you enjoy and where you want to discover folks, because it really does help to be on the right server(s)?
@tonic this is really cool! Thanks for the link!
@tonic oh wow that’s awful. It’s so confusing at first - and a lot of people, articles, and sites recommend multiple accounts! I’m glad you stuck around after such an awful ‘welcome’.
@clyminghawk check this out, maybe it will help maybe you just like this sort of thing (like me) https://www.comeetie.fr/galerie/mapstodon/?instance=scicomm.xyz
