@iamalsoandy @Dave42W cool. I'll take a closer look over the weekend. I've just been dipping my toe in so far and posting the odd thing.
Dave Warnock@owenhb17 @iamalsoandy yup we are still open for new accounts (they go through a manual approval to avoid getting flooded).
Our hosting is with @mastohost who have been excellent at keeping performance up during the huge growth of Mastodon.
