Here is a guide on picking your first Mastodon instance!

1. The instance shouldn't be too big. We must avoid centralization and putting too much control over the network into one's hands. It's called Fediverse, not UNIverse after all.

2. The instance shouldn't be too small or the admin might run out of interest or money and the server will vanish with all your data.

3. The instance shouldn't be of a medium size or it will be involved in the Instance Wars and you won't be able to follow people who interest you as half of the fediverse will be blocked and the other half will be blocking you.

Hope you found this helpful, until the next time! :blobcatcoffee:
