TIP OF THE DAY
Mastodon is not broken.
It's different, and much better. Mastodon by design promotes engagement not asserting influence. It's a dinner party, not a food fight. Most of what you might at first think is deficient is intentional. Before you rush to conclusions, try it for a while. Take part in this new community. Make new friends. Be kind. This is what social media should be. You will be amazed.
Mastodon Quick Start

Wait! What's wrong with my bleeping # searches?
Maybe today you tried a search and there was something curious about the results. On this server almost every post returned was 5hr old, then it grew to 10hr, and now it is 11hr. What’s wrong?
Well, first thing is, Mastodon is not broken, but your instance is struggling.

Any instance recommendations?
I'm looking into perhaps switching instances to something smaller and more related to my interests. I 'm a pro labor lefty diasporic jew living in the US. I embroider and go to raves. I work to live and try to spend as little energy on it as I can so I can find fulfillment elsewhere.
