@feditips oop, i signed up on mastodon.social. How do I move?

@aarnav

If you've literally just signed up, I'd strongly recommend just starting a new account on another server.

The moving process is a bit complicated because it ensures your followers & follows move with you, but if you don't really have any followers yet then it's easier to just sign up again somewhere else.

@feditips yes I’ll do that. Any server recommendations? I want a fast experience.

@aarnav

Basically, you should be okay on servers listed at https://joinmastodon.org/servers or https://fedi.garden All the servers at these sites have promised to obey certain standards of reliability and moderation (https://joinmastodon.org/covenant).

If you're not sure, just pick a general server. You can always move your account if you change your mind.
