More or less picked this instance at random - what do most people base their choice on?
@mikel I read the About pages of the ones with the best uptimes and HTTPS rank, and went with Octodon because the "cyberpunk queen" who runs it seems pretty cool.
@Ashdroid The phrase "cyberpunk queen" alone sells me on most things, to be fair.
@mikel I was all confused about the signup process and just picked the only familiar thing I recognized. Targaryen.
@ratapaloma Same feeling of confusion for me. I have friends who even found twitter too confusing, so I can imagine this will seem too difficult for most users for now.
@mikel I chose at random base don mastodon.social is closed and this had the most active users
@mikel I just realized that I think I can see other instances' toots.
@Manu the different instances, local and federated timelines is confusing to begin with! Still not sure I fully get it, but I don't think it really seems to matter much :slight_smile:
@mikel Yeah, I think I've figured out that much by now. I've seen the email client analogy and I like it. Don't know how accurate it is though.
@mikel mine was random also.
