Apparently JoinMastodon.org was recently attacked by a DDoS.
The Fediverse needs more than just JoinMastodon to help new people find servers. It's a single point of failure that could be crashed or bought out.
I've started an independent curated server guide at https://fedi.garden and would encourage others to create curated onboarding sites too.
If you run a Fedi instance (Masto or not) that complies with the Mastodon Covenant (https://joinmastodon.org/covenant) please get in touch.
Thank you - and love the curated list of accounts you post to highlight new people to follow.
I have a site where I started to store posts that list accounts to follow on a given topic. I wanted a place where anyone (whichever instance they’re on or however big their network is) to find lists of accounts that might help them make important connections e.g. starting on mastodon, job listings, law folk, news orgs, mastodon admins, etc. Although you can bookmark these yourself or add people to a list, I thought it would be handy to have somewhere you could do a quick search for a post - and from there link back to mastodon
I’m only doing this in my spare time so right now just 11 lists.
FediTips has moved!
