I know a lot of the new people are from Comics Twitter so if you want suggestions on instances for you lot:

mastodon.art: a community of artists, illustrators seem to be most prominent

wandering.shop: a community of scifi/fantasy fans, a lot of writers and book lovers
writing.exchange: community of writers

octodon.social: general purpose instance with a good community

instance.business: instance by and for people of color, and also parody brands

cybre.space: a lot of creative queer furries

I'm a #genderqueer #bi and #aspie author that writes sci-fi and fantasy with LGBTQIA+ characters.

I have a degree in linguistics, but I've also studied physics, chemistry, biology, sociology, and psychology. Yes, I read textbooks for fun, 😍

Between stints in college, I worked as an electrochemist.

Hey Mastodon! I liked twitter, but I adore Mastodon. I'm looking forward to getting to know you.

When I joined masto, I gravitated towards following creative peeps and noticed a thing that's pretty common to all of us: we feel guilty for promoting places that people can buy our work or otherwise support us financially. So I started the #CreativeToots hashtag for that very reason. Got an Etsy page? Online store? Patreon? Selling a piece of art? Throw that tag on it. Do it with unfettered abandon. Everyone else: Look at that tag for artists to support. Buy their stuff. Help them create. <3
