I'm thinking about joining mastodon, but I don't know what server to go with, and the list of servers seems to have very little information about each. Right now I think I'll open an account on mastodon.social.

I'd prefer a server with a high character limit and that has access to most other servers.

I tried to find one that kind of aligned with my interest and didn’t have a crazy number of users like mastodon.social. Reading online about picking instances, the recommendation to pick a smaller instance came up numerous times.

Went with sunny.garden since it’s a creative/artsy/tech instance and it’s been great. My local feed moves at a decent pace with content I enjoy, but I could also see mostly everything else on the federated tab.
