New #instance, new #introduction

Not new to the Fediverse, but always kinda planned on joining mastodon.radio once I got my license, which is now!

Interested in #POTA, #SOTA, and #SSTV. Eventually want to give #DX an earnest go. With respect to radio: don't know what I don't know; interested to find additional interests.

Elsewhere known as @ety@hive.institute or @ety@corteximplant.com.

I'll focus on radio content here; may boost elsewhere. Overall posts and boosts will be infrequent. Lurk moar.

So ... I got an email alert from not my last instance, but the instance before that, saying I had a new follower.

I also had a notification that that same account had followed me on this instance. Not sure what that's all about.

I thought this account was already following me, but perhaps they changed their instance, which is why I got the sudden re-follow idk. Or maybe they weren't following me at all until now.

Maybe they've only just accepted my follow request from an instance I was on a couple of years ago.

It's all a bit Twilight Zone.

I realise also this post has the word 'instance' in it a lot.

A warm welcome to you, new bot in our #Instance! We are now publishing the latest oots from our feathered friends via @birdpi #Esslingen #BirdNet #Ornithology

Is the instance “mastodon.art” blocking all images on “woof.group”?
I cannot see profile picture or images posted by anyone whose instance is “woof.group”…

Thank you so much for being a member of our community!

It's encouraging to see that my little corner of the Fediverse is the home to a few of the millions of active monthly users across Mastodon.

Happy to be providing this micro-instance and contributing to the long-term resilience of Mastodon, and the Fediverse as a whole.

Small acts of defiance, Vive la résistance!

Fosstodon keeps running.

Looks like my next instance will be one of these three:

social.tchncs.de
Tech oriented.

toot.community
Good general instance.

ieji.de
User privacy is a priority.

All three have very reasonable about/rules. Anyone have any ideas?

À toutes et tout mes followers, je vais bientôt changer d'instance Mastodon, @zaclys ne souhaitant pas continuer la sienne.

Avez-vous des suggestions d'instances françaises à me recommander ?

Merci !

After about 900 days on https://typo.social it is very much my online social home and chat room.
#mastodon #instance #TypoSocial

A friend asks: what's a good instance for (nice) cis het people that he can direct his friends to?

Must be friendly to neurospicy.

What ieji.de has to offer:

Unparalleled performance (80x3Ghz CPU, 256GB RAM, 4TB nvme, 10gbit net),
Total obfuscation of your IP and accessible via Tor network,
Open federation policy,
Unpopular opinions welcome(as long as they are not unlawful),
Moderated against harassment, spam and other unwelcome actors,
Blocks bluesky bridges and threads,
Offers all Mastodon extras, like translation and search.

Feel free to join us in our effort to make this #instance an enjoyable #Mastodon experience.

#Nicole "the Fediverse chick" continues to be a spam menace in the Fediverse. Today we've seen her popping up on single person servers.

If you run a single person #instance please make sure sign-ups are closed. This can help limit Nicole's ability to multiply! Thanks!

Where is your #instance hosted?
Mine is hosted in #France

Does anyone know anything about the #news site https://www.europesays.com/ or the corresponding closed #mastodon #instance https://pubeurope.com/ ?

To me it appears to be fully #AIgenerated news #content and a mastodon #server with 75 accounts dedicated to distributing links to the content with country and topic specific #hashtags.

So far, so normal in 2025, I guess. But I'm a bit distrustful of content creators that do not provide any information whatsoever about what kind of organisation or individuals are behind it, escpecially for news or political content.

is there a mastodon instance for film editors / cinema industry people ? I'd like to recommend some instances to an older friend who is interested in joining the fedi but unsure of some of the initial joining process

Lil notice: I'd like to switch to my mas.to account instead of this one, after some time comparing.

If you follow me here, please follow me @resl@mas.to now? I'm going to take this move nice and slow... Thanks!

I am once again asking for your recommendations for a #mastodon #instance to jump ship towards. Taking a break from #bluesky has highlighted the issues I had when this was my only form of social media.

Now that my local feed has more bots than my federated feed, I think it's time. Also, someone else's instance has apparently flagged mine, so it caused a warning every time they interacted with me.

I know about https://instances.social/ . It lacks criteria I need. I can't search for >500 chars
