Mastodon is operated, maintained, and moderated by different passionate individuals and organizations, often out of their own pocket. Check if your server accepts donations on its about page if you want to help out!
@Gargron yeah how dose that work I just got her and I have no idea how to get on these different servers or are people hosting there own mastodon sites and that connected to the main hub?
@Catalina_Gearbox@Gargron While looking over the 'Federated Timeline' or just in conversations you're joining with others, if you find someone that shares your views or interests, you can look at their address above and see if that instance is also aligned with yours. You can then see if it's over loaded or accepting new members. There is a process to 'migrate' to another instance. https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/
