When I first joined mastodon, I was on mastodon.social - I wasn’t used to twitter enough for mastodon to feel familiar, having to research and pick an instance seemed like an extra stress, and I appreciated having a “default” option.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Lemmy.ml stays relatively big for a while, but I do see a lot of new instances starting and I’m optimistic the network will become more diverse.
A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of “federation” and “universe”. It is a common, informal name for a federation of social network servers whose main purpose is microblogging, the sharing of short, public messages.
