Three Instances for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of pouets,
Nine for Mortal Men tooted to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Toots lie.
One Fil Public Global to rule them all, One Fil Public Global to find them,
One Fil Public Global to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them,
In the Land of Mordor where the Toots lie.

I think this might be worth some sort of mini-celebration. I never thought I'd live to see the day.

My dear friend @way created tooter.today/ to help people pick a Mastodon instance that suits them!

PSA: If you are in the web view of a remote instance of some user or toot, you cannot directly reply/boost/fav.

But you can copypaste the URL into your local Mastodon server's "Search" field, then it allows you to interact!

Wasn't obvious to me, so maybe boost this if it helped you. :)

*drags on cigarette* "Yeah, I was user 2493. @Gargron followed me back."

"On the main instance?! Holy shit! And you just gave it up?"

*flicks cig into the wind*

"Yeah, kid. For the Federation."

How many toots could a toot-boost boost if a toot-boost could boost toots?

Getting my nerd on with mates, will be great. It has been a while since I went out for dinner with a group of friends - all of a sudden I'm *really* looking forward to tonight. Huh.
