vinai.phtmlHaving to choose a server when creating a mastodon account is a great filter feature. Unmotivated folks are overwhelmed by choice and give up immediately.
Laura Folco@vinaikopp I’m regretting not getting into mastodon.social while it was available. Where I am now is crickets on my local timeline. Have looked around for a larger server but many of the big ones are spammy.
@lfolco Oh? I wasn’t aware mastodon.social wasn’t accepting signups any more (currently).
I almost joined phpc but it felt too php centric to me. Used it for @mageos though.
I didn’t check the local timeline first though. I think there is a lot of change currently and when things settle down the situation will become clearly.
FlyingMana@vinaikopp @lfolco vinai could check if he can still invite, some servers just close the public signup when there is to much for a while.
@Flyingmana @lfolco Oh, that’s a new thing to me. How can I invite…?
/me is off digging through the ui again
@vinaikopp @Flyingmana it's /invites off of your main URL
@lfolco okay that seems to have worked! Thanks @Flyingmana for the recommendation!
Good luck with “the migration” @lfolco
@vinaikopp @mageos yeah I’m not really into the PHP focus. I have enough tech in my day job. We’ll see how it pans out.
@lfolco anyhow, I hope you find a more suitable herd to join. #amIDoingThisRight
@lfolco I see about 3-5 toots/hour on phpc.social, not quite crickets (not enough for doom scrolling though either)
Kuba Zwolinski@vinaikopp @lfolco @mageos I joined @phpc mostly beacause PHP is where I really started my web career. After all, I hope to connect with interesting people around different topics

@snowdog @vinaikopp @lfolco @mageos @phpc I decided to move to mastodon.coffee to take a more generalized approach. I like the server admin and it's the right size for now. Just did a migration, we'll see how it goes. Lots to learn!
@vinaikopp @lfolco coffee or sauna would be very close to my perfect place
@vinaikopp @lfolco unfortunately coffee is not accepting new signups, too much caffeine. I have to tie my future to PHP again 🤓
