Any recommendations for #mastodon instances, especially from people who’re migrating from #twitter ?
I want to update my username before it gets too awkward to do that, and I thought it might be good to move to a less overloaded instance at the same time
I’d love it to be somewhere where #queer #neurodivergent people hang out
Thanks for all the recommendations everyone!
I’ve decided to go for eldritch.cafe, but if you follow me here in the meantime, your follows will get dragged along with my social graph when I migrate 😊
@axnicho @CrustyBumbler did this yesterday Anna x
@axnicho Late diagnosed AuDHD, you say? 🤔
@axnicho@mastodon.social @axnicho@transponderings.blog hey you, fancy seeing you here. Been here a few days, still pretty confused. So nice to see a friendly face from birdland.
@camillaengelby @axnicho@transponderings.blog Good to see you too! We can all be confused together for a bit 😊
@axnicho heya i'm late-diagnosed autistic & adhd as well, welcome!
@axnicho @axnicho@transponderings.blog I didn’t know you on Twitter, but I’ll follow you here.

I wish I could reconnect with my twitter followers, if they're even here. I got locked out of my account for no reason. It's really frustrating.
@axnicho Weirder.earth is a nice, medium size general purpose instance with solid moderation.
@axnicho following! I don't know you from Twitter, but I too am new here from there, #nonbinary and #queer.
@axnicho Perhaps have a look at eldritch.cafe ...
@axnicho I'm still settling in as well but am currently at tech.lgbt
@Jojoglowe I’ve just set up an account at eldritch.cafe and I’ll migrate this account there once I’ve worked out how to do that safely (apparently there’s an issue with the most recent software update)
@axnicho specifically Including some generalist instances in the mix:
tech.lgbt, eldritch.cafe, weirder.earth, mastodon.lol, koyu.space, mstdn.social, mas.to
@vylion I’ve decided on eldritch.cafe, I think
Just holding off a little before I migrate
@axnicho Just checking, are you aware that you can transfer your account between mastodon instances? I'm unsure about toots, but you get to keep all your follows and followers (although I expect this to apply for toots as well)
@vylion Thank you, yes
I had heard some people saying there was a problem with part of the migration process in 3.5.1 (the current release version)
Not sure how significant that is, but I’d rather play it safe for the moment
@axnicho Oh damn! I had no idea, good to know
@vylion Not great timing for a big like that (although I suspect most people coming from the bird site won’t have existing accounts here)
@axnicho have a look at queer.party
One of my partners hangs out there
@WizardOfDocs I’ve actually plumped for eldritch.cafe now
In the meantime, if you are #queer – esp. #trans #ace #nonbinary #lesbian – and/or #neurodivergent – esp. #ActuallyAutistic #ActuallyADHD #LateDiagnosed – please do give me a follow
(I’d especially love to reconnect with anyone who knows me from #twitter – where I’m @transponderings@twitter.com – or from my blog, @axnicho@transponderings.blog)
