I wanted to try the default mastodon social instance to get the hang of it - and I know there’s all kind of specific-interest ones like for art, music, tech, games, etc. but does anyone out there have some recommendations for other decent, all-purpose ones?
@AlliFlowers it's also important to point out that different instances have different features.
Just for example, the instance I use has practically no limit on post size and supports quoting of posts, among other additions to the standard Mastodon feature set.
@HistoPol yes, it's a modified version where the administrators added the extra features.
Interesting, then.
I often have issues with the length of my posts, as you know... ;)
@HistoPol ok, ok, I got off my lazy butt to look up the link to the list of features 
Check out the unique features part of this page:

Yeah I never had any use for Twitter because I just couldn't put up with a website that artificially handcuffs people to limited character lengths. I want people to be typing as much as they need to get their thoughts out.
So that is one of the critical features I was looking for when finding an instance.
@volkris
Impressive web page. :)
How did you prove that?
