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!]
@gairdeachas I don't know if the instance is open or not, and it may be more writer-focused, but I feel like everytime I see someone on wandering.shop, I nod and go, "Ah, yes, good people on that instance." :)
There was also a really cool tool that ... @stefan (?? maybe??) wrote that gives people a bunch of pre-built links for getting onto fedi for the first time. Would recommend that as an adjacent helper.
@gairdeachas Also, I can highly recommend my instance (social.coop) as a good multi-purpose instance. It does have dues, so that may be a factor. But it's incredibly well-moderated, mid-sized (so you get an active feed), and is a co-op (which is just cool :).
