I've been on mastodon.social for historical reasons.

What are reasons to choose another server (and which one)?

@raphink Isn't it better to be on a small mastodon (performance reason)? I'm pretty sure I read that. And another reason may just be on a regional server

@fe80 Yes, spreading the load and accessing a local server make sense.

Most of my contacts seem to be on topical servers (such as hachyderm.io or fosstodon) and I wonder if there's specific features (there seems to be K8s emojis on hachyderm for ex).

@raphink It was a pleasure to doing that with you 😄

@raphink I've see that too. I can see on documentation, emojis, css theme, and block some subject or domain. Maybe the best solution to look that is install a little instance. They just miss a helm chart for that 😄

@fe80 Nah, I don't want to go down the road of maintaining my own server. I'm too old and busy for that 😁
