Who are your "must follows" on Mastodon?
Who are your "must follows" on Mastodon?
Hey all! I'm interested in creating an account on mastodon, and am looking to build up a list of people to follow. Let me know who your must follows are!
You're viewing a single thread.
Have you decided on an instance?
Nope, not yet. Might spin up my own. If not, something tech-centric.
something tech-centric.
Might I suggest SDF? They are a long running tech community that started as public UNIX access.
Seems to be running pretty slow right now, is it just a one-off or is this their normal response time?
I'm using the ivory app on iOS to interact with Mastodon so I can't say for sure. But performance has been great for me. I even pay for extra SDF services.
I'd suggest hachyderm.io then.
Tech centric, run by a co-op that's also trying to be a general tech co-op of some sort currently starting some sort of software project. Run very professionally by mastodon standards. They use GitHub issues for lodging problems, issue monthly reports about things, have documentation etc, and, culturally speaking, try pretty well to be the inclusive kind of tech-centric (IE, queer, trans and BIPOC people are at the top level of the co-op). I've been on there for a while and never had a performance issue of any sort.

The parent co-op organisation: https://nivenly.org/ They also have a discord which isn't a bad tech place to hang out if you're interested
