I'm looking for a new Mastodon instance. I'm not satisfied with the moderation on fosstodon. Does anyone have any recommendations? (beehaw.org)

I'd also like a larger character limit.

Sort of related, but does anyone know if Mastadon servers require others in the server to find other instances before you see feeds from them in the All tab, like with Lemmy?

I'm thinking of getting into Mastadon and that would be a big reason to pick a bigger instance than a smaller one.

It does work that way, but Mastodon and some other microblogging software like Firefish (fka Calckey), Pleroma, etc. can also use relays to populate their federated timelines.

Oh right, I remember hearing about relays. Is that something the admin of the instance controls?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Yup! If the software supports it, instance admins can usually add relays from their control panel.
