Ask HN: Twitter is down. Favorite Mastodon instances?

14 points by Kye 7y ago

I'm partial to cybre.space and snouts.online. The former is run by a dragon and the latter by various animals. What's not to love?

toot.cafe's where I ended up - Nolan's a pretty cool guy with a lot of interesting thoughts about privacy, security, tech and the internet in general, and life. Happy to make use of his instance, where the global timeline is full of pretty interesting technical stuff (and, of course, plenty of funny stuff and obligatory cat pictures)

  He also made one of the more popular alternate interfaces: https://pinafore.social/ https://pinafore.social/ It uses Svelte.

  There's tabletop.social if you favor the offline kind.

give radical.town a try : it has a gif picker that most mastodon instances have not.

I follow individuals and hardly notice what instance they're on. Do y'all subscribe to whole instances? FWIW, I'm on maly.io.
