Yes, this is the thing. Mastodon has a bit of a discovery issue that other social network options don't have (it's akin to asking "What's a good email provider?").
I haven't tried it myself, but this purports to suggest a server based on some info about you (https://instances.social/ https://instances.social/). And (https://joinmastodon.org/servers https://joinmastodon.org/servers) is kind of the "main" list.
- cldellow 4y agoYeah, it's pretty frustrating. I initially tried the https://joinmastodon.org/servers https://joinmastodon.org/servers thing in November, but the things proposed seemed like very niche communities. I just tried the https://instances.social/ https://instances.social/ link -- the top 2 hits for me were very small instances (fewer than 5 people), which I wouldn't have much faith in joining. Actually, I guess I should have mentioned how I _actually_ chose a server. I used https://fedifinder.glitch.me/ https://fedifinder.glitch.me/ and joined the first fast-enough server that most of my existing contacts were on.
