Looking around at other servers. Not sure if there are strong reasons to move, but I like the idea of participating in a smaller 'local' community.

But then… which one? queer.party? tech.lgbt? indieweb.social? a11y.info? Something else?

It looks like different themes are also server-defined? So e.g. some may have better a11y, or more color options?

@terribleMia it’s hard because I don’t want a new community so much as I want to revive the community I had during the peak of webdev Twitter

@keithjgrant Same same. I just created a server. Now I'm trying to decide if it's:

- a place where I try and convince you all to come join me
- just my little corner of a big federated universe

I don't know what I'm doing 🤷🏻‍♀️

@keithjgrant (or option 3, actually just a mistake)

@terribleMia I’d love to find one that’s somewhere between just a handful of people and, well, the flagship instance that gets overloaded when Twitter has a bad week

@keithjgrant That's my thinking as well. But I wonder if something like that can start with just a handful, and then grow over time?

Anyway, I just created @[email protected] - not sure if that was a good idea, or if anyone will want to join me at a domain name like that… But I have it. So that's something 😅

@keithjgrant At this point I haven't even figured out how to follow people from there. So it's off to a great start.

@terribleMia @keithjgrant following people on this thing has not been a great experience. I think you have to search for their full handle, then follow from the search result. idk if there’s a better way 🤷‍♂️

@terribleMia I love everything about that domain. You should be proud!
