@robotmonkeys @kissane yeah, I suspect the most important factor in picking an instance is what they block - pick one that will be safe for you. But they tend to make themselves after communities, giving the impression that's what matters. Who actually checks their instance feed and so on?

@kitten_tech @kissane even then, you don’t know, and you certainly don’t know who anyone is when you sign up.

As a counterpoint, the aus.social instance works really well for me as a community space. This might be a function of scale, in that it's small enough to feel like a community, but large enough to stay interesting. And it has a geographically defined scope, so there are common interests, but not one single topic.

@stib @kitten_tech @robotmonkeys @kissane I find the same with my local mastodon.au feed, there's usually something there that I haven't seen elsewhere.
