Another #FediverseTip (inaccurately called #Mastodon network).

You don't have to stay in the first instance you registered on. In fact, it is advisable to find a different instance where you will feel at home and in agreement with their local community and policies.

While, yes, flagship servers (a.k.a. instances #fediverse software devs are handling themselves) are more likely to stay for the next 20 years or so, those are also often used as "test" servers. Not to mention, their time will be divided between developing their fediverse software and managing their flagship instance.

In other words, it is good that users spread out to different instances.

My life as a parent got a whole lot simpler when I realized I could set up a server just for us, and my 10yo daughter's exposure to the firehose of #social #media could instead be gently managed into a refreshing splashy time running through the lawn sprinklers. #family #friendly #explorethefediverse

Here’s a tip via @MattHodges. @tootapp is a paid iOS app that lets you follow the local and federated timelines of other instances. It also has a great search feature to help you find other instances you might want to follow. There’s a nifty little UI feature I’ve never seen before (a sort of wheel in the lower right corner) that lets you flip between your home instance and others. Very slick.
