Another #MastodonTip for people of the #TwitterMigration (other than using camel case for hashtags) is that Mastodon instances are not run by corporations with thousands of employees. Usually it is just a handful of volunteers and an instance owner or two.
A huge influx of users, like this, all at once is a lot to handle. Stuff may break or slow down for a bit.

I've created a website for FediFollows which has all the accounts I've ever recommended (that are still working!) organised into nice topics and tags:

Please let me know what you think! Any feedback very welcome 🙏
(This is why I haven't posted in a few days! 😅 )
