I guess Mastodon will see another wave of migrations from tech-types, although the non-technical people probably still won't care.

A recent toot suggested that mastodon.social is effectively twitter now, being a single huge instance. As effective migration comes on-line it will be easier to find, and then move to, other, smaller, more focussed communities.

Maybe this is the time to jump.



That was my first thought too. Time to look into Mastodon again I guess.


Come and join me on Mathstodon[0] - if you then want to move I'd be happy to help. Once registered you can look for "similar people" using this tool:

I keep thinking of trying Mastodon but then stop because I just don’t think I’ll find enough or be able to interact enough. Having a tool and someone to follow initially should help!

You could always have a look here, it's a tool to find out which of your Twitter friends already are on Mastodon: https://bridge.joinmastodon.org/


If you join an instance that caters to an interest of yours, then you can look at the "local timeline" which shows only public posts on your instance.


There's also this instance:
