Eugen Rochko is stepping down as CEO of decentralized social network Mastodon. Felix Hlatky will now become the executive director as the company becomes structured as a nonprofit government by a board.
What are you struggling with? Look for a server (that isn’t mastodon.social) that fits your interests, sign up, browse the local or global timeline, follow interesing people, have fun!
You know people told me to do this with Lemmy and I ended up choosing a lemmy.ml . I found out later I guess that’s the Antichrist and I shouldn’t have done that. What’s the best way to understand what server is kosher?
Haha, o no. Mmmmh, I would go around server lists (heard good things about https://fedi.garden/ ) and then look at the public timeline of a server and also at the server rules. I did this for finding a new Pixelfed instance a few months ago (didn’t find anything I liked) and it was interesting to see if people had just pasted the standard rules (kind of a red flag for me, personally), wrote some bs like “be nice to each other” or had taken care of thinking about this.
I’m right there with you. To be honest, I’m still figuring out Lemmy myself; like how it’s different from Mastodon and why content sometimes crosses over. It seems straightforward to a lot of people, but it’s a learning curve for me lol.
I use mastodon.social and i have nearly 300 followers here. I dont know any server nor i do know how to find one that match with my interests. I am interested in generally anime, visual novel, jpop, art lgbt etc. twitter is one central website that servs all kind of people at once so it is not very quiet. mastodon.social is both quiet and I am having struggles to find someone famous and interesting entertaining here. Like bro on my feed posting something and gets zero likes. I do the same and the same happens to me.
as rumba@lemmy.zip also states that the inactivity here is a major problem i also did the same my account here is from 2023 and we are about to enter 2026. I am also a dead account here.
and yet i still dont know how to use mastodon

Mastodon.social, I guess?
(I’m either right or someone will show up to correct me shortly, as per Murphy’s law :P)
@happydoors @MousePotatoDoesStuff no, Murphy’s law is whatever can go wrong will.
