Thanks for being welcoming, Mastodon! I've been here for ~a month now, and enjoy it! But I have friends at the bird site who'd enjoy another instance than mine better, so I'd like to give them a list. Are there any instances who follow the core values of mastodon art,are open for new members and are comfortable having their description in a bird thread? I'll give you a list on the "themes" of my followers in the toot below.
(RT thanks!)

While there are overlaps I have followers who are
-academics, especially into Vikings, history and religion
-indigenous
-queer
-disabled
-autistics and ADHD
-authors, especially into romance and/or fantasy
-comic artists
-Scandinavian
-sex workers and sex workers' unions
-museums
-geeks and nerds
-OFMD, Star Trek, and Star Wars

The common denominators seem to be queer, BLM, and a tendency for sh*t posting about Antiquity and Vikings
Ping me if you're open and I'll add you to the bird thread.

@MarthaCrimson The authors and comic artists are very welcome on .art , and it doesn't matter if they're also going to be posting about their other interests there. There's scholar.social, @spicytamazon did you start a Star Trek instance? Or are on one? Queer.garden is lovely but not sure if they're open - @moiety

@welshpixie @MarthaCrimson @moiety

I did not, but there *is* a Star Trek instance over at https://tenforward.social and several of my Trekkie friends from birdsite moved there!

@MarthaCrimson There are a fair few historians on scholar.social, including some PoC that I follow ^.^ @CaribenxMarciaX can probably comment more on what the instance is like :D
