@[email protected] Great question. A rew reasons: - mastodon.social's so big that the Local and Federated timelines aren't very useful. - smaller instances (even if they're not special-interest focused) are more likely to have a good community. - many other instances have "silenced" mastodon.social (because of its long history of moderation issues -- or just because of the volume), so people on other instances are less likely to connect with you. All that being said, I wasn't trying to say that mastodon.social was terrible - it's the advice that's horrible. It's just that for most people it's not the best place to start. @[email protected] @[email protected]
