Seems to be plently of community in mastodon for my purposes, eg in mastodon.energy.
See my IDs in my profile.
- BiteCode_dev 3y agoBut that's the problem I think. 1% of quality posts from a giant instance will always be bigger, more diverse, and with higher chance of containing an amazing thing that 100% of whatever small instance you are on. Plus now you have to do your homework: what is it federated with? What are the rules? And what's more, the recommendation system on mastodon is very limited, so you are basically stuck with what's trending for everyone or your subscribe list. Maybe you have a good instance to recommend for programming?
- DamonHD 3y agoI am following people from a bunch of instances which includes FOSS and other programming stuff. My instance seems to be having a "fail whale" moment so I can't give you any examples easily at this moment! Feel free to prod me on the IDs in my bio and I'll pass some on.
