Hey my peeps - what Masto instance would you recommend for a queer visual artist trying out the Fediverse and looking for a community?

What accounts / hash tags would you recommend they follow to get started?

My logo designer is not enamored with what traditional social media has become and interested in trying out the Fediverse and I'm hoping to set him up for success.

[boosts welcome!]

@cairobraga @gairdeachas Seconding this. Not only because it's art-focused and queer-friendly. It's also the goldilocks zone of firm moderation and large community. Smaller instances are great, but when you're starting out and there's nothing on your home feed, you rely on that local feed, and smaller instances can be offputtingly quiet.
@pentup @gairdeachas it's more than queer-friendly, it's queer-led, and it's radical in its community care and policies, which is amazing. 💚💚💚
