I just downloaded the app to see what's all the hype about, and once again, I'm asked to pick a group, in this case, a server.

I suppose it's like Lemmy instances, so, is there a general one, or an equivalent of lemmy.world in terms of size, interaction, and so on?

My mistake if I'm understanding things wrong, thanks!

You should be able to browse a list here. Mastodon.social is the biggest instance I believe, but most will recommend choosing a server more suited to your particular location or interests.

Among the biggest there are mastodon.social, mastodon.online, mstdn.social, mas.to and mastodon.world. As usual I guess it would be preferable to join in a not so big instance as to reduce centralization. The local/federated timeline is the wild west anyway, its built on your follows.

Granted I never used Twitter so I might be using Mastodon wrong.

Getting tired of all this choice. Can't a large corporation just tell me what memes to like and what to think?

What's the condescending attitude for? 🤨 I legit don't know a single thing about the platform, my bad for asking recommendations as a new user like the normal average Joe?

I thought it was a joke.
