I'm also on Hive.
Not sure if Mastodon will work out. It seems to have a lot of .syntax and broken up into a lot of different sub communities like reddit - there's the .social, then people with just usernames, then .world and mstdn.random thing and what is @Universteodon ? It takes me awhile to find the domain I can log into to get to my profile. Feels cluttered and unintuitive when trying to follow someone from their link. Suggestions?
