@FediThing Thank you! 
Another possibility to discover people on a server is also to look at the servers about-page at the members. If they are not public have a look at their profiles directory stream.

Instance updated to 0.18.3 #gotosocial #gotosocialadmin #instance #instanceadmin
I am once again asking for your recommendations for a #mastodon #instance to jump ship towards. Taking a break from #bluesky has highlighted the issues I had when this was my only form of social media.
Now that my local feed has more bots than my federated feed, I think it's time. Also, someone else's instance has apparently flagged mine, so it caused a warning every time they interacted with me.
I know about https://instances.social/ . It lacks criteria I need. I can't search for >500 chars

I have just implemented an instance ban on social.freysa.ai instance. From what I can tell it's almost entirely AI-generated accounts and posts. I have zero interest in having such content polluting my instance timelines.
Upgraded the PeerTube instance at https://videos.abnormalbeings.space to #PeerTube 7.1.
Feels and looks great, and I think I managed to break nothing along the way. I especially love the new feature to easily browse content from a specific, federated #instance
Thank you, @Framasoft and every other contributor on #github - it takes a global village to raise (and maintain) a software.

#Introduction pour les francophones de ma nouvelle #instance. Je suis prof de théorie des medias (orientation sociologique) et de narration dans une école d’art à #Bruxelles, ma ville, que j’aime et que je déteste. Mes sujets de recherche sont les liens entre les technologies (numériques ou non) et les corps (pour aller vite), les narrations subalternes et les mauvais genres. Je travaille aussi à la promotion des outils libres de communication, du numérique soutenable dans une optique de souveraineté technologique communautaire. Je fais de la radio : j'y passe de la musique et je discute d'imaginaire une fois par mois. Ici je poste donc sur ces sujets principalement, avec un peu d'actualité. #enseignement #pédagogie #narration #SF #polar #bd #jdr #jeux Je parle aussi de #qualitedelair et d'#asthme.
GoToSocial 发布 v0.18.0 版本：全新功能与改进
经过一至两周的紧张开发、多个预览版本之后，终于迎来了 GoToSocial v0.18.0 Scroingly Sloth 版本的发布。
版本特性： • 支持嘟文编辑：现在，用户可以编辑自己的嘟文，并查看其他账户的编辑历史（前提是实例已接收并存储这些历史记录）。 • 通知推送：GoToSocial 现在可以通过配置 Push Providers 向客户端发送推送通知。 请注意，您可能需要卸载/重新安装客户端应用程序，或先退出再重新登录，以使此功能生效。（如果您使用的是 Tusky，请确保已安装 ntfy） • 全局实例 CSS 自定义：管理员现在可以通过设置面板，在整个实例中应用自定义 CSS。 • 受信代理助手：对于配置不当的受信代理设置，实例主页现在会显示警告，提醒管理员确保实例配置正确。更新后，请检查您的实例主页，查看是否需要进行任何操作。 • 更好的发件箱排序：GoToSocial 发送的消息现在更快速地传递给对方，因此跨实例的对话应该更加流畅。 • 登录按钮：实例主页右上角新增了登录按钮，指向有关客户端的帮助页面，并提供设置面板的链接。应改能减少新用户的困惑！ • 统计数据控制：通过 instance-stats-mode 设置，管理员现在可以选择是否以及如何通过 nodeinfo 端点提供统计信息。v0.17.0 的现有行为为默认设置。 • 嘟文回溯：现在可以通过 API 回溯帖子（需要在 config.yaml 中启用）。这是将其他地方的帖子历史导入到 GoToSocial 实例的第一步。虽然目前在设置面板中尚无此功能，但您可以使用第三方工具，如 Slurp，从 Mastodon 导出中导入帖子。 • 可配置的用户注册限制：您现在可以配置用户注册排队长度和用户注册控流（默认设置保持不变）。 • NetBSD 和 FreeBSD 构建：Yeah！ • 适配 prefers-color-scheme 偏好：前端这块，除了深色模式主题外，还新增了浅色模式默认主题，并且主题会根据访客的 prefers-color-scheme 配置进行切换。适用于所有页面和个人资料，部分自定义主题除外，设置面板中也适用此功能。
升级注意事项：
请在升级前仔细阅读迁移说明。此版本包含多个较长的迁移过程，升级时需要耐心，并务必先备份数据库！

Bonjour Masto !
J'ai une amie qui voudrait s'inscrire sur une instance artistique, je connais déjà mastodon.art mais auriez-vous d'autres recommandations ? Merciii !

Hello Masto, a friend of mine want to create an account on an artistic server, i already know mastodon.art but would you have other recommendations ? Thank you !
Just left the #MastodonSocial #instance because I am now reluctant to leave my #data on its #server located in the #USA and therefore under U.S. #juridiction and possible #government action, and moved my #account to the #ChaosSocial instance (on invitation only) with server in #Europe ( #Germany ). The #migration was easy and fast.

Mastodon BlogHow to migrate from one server to anotherWith the sad news that KNZK was shutting down we thought it might be useful for people to have a refresher on the features that Mastodon has built in that make moving instances easy and painless.
Backing up Your Data Data export
If you are moving to a new instance the first thing you will want to do is to get a backup of all of your data. Thankfully this process is painless with the Data Export tab under the “Import and Export” page. Here you can download your followers list, your muted users list and your blocked users list.

@JustBob Discord has completely warped the term "server" for entire generations of Internet users. On Discord, "server" means "chatroom".
In the Fediverse, "server" doesn't mean "chatroom". It means "server". A computer.
For example, a rack computer with no screen and no keyboard and no mouse bolted into a server rack at a data centre.
Or an old laptop that someone had lying around or a Raspberry Pi mini-computer running at someone's home, connected to their landline.
On each one of these, a big or small Twitter can be running (Mastodon).
Or a wholly different Twitter (Pleroma, Akkoma, Misskey, Calckey, Firefish, Iceshrimp, Sharkey, Catodon, Meisskey, Tanukey, Neko...).
(Here's the first important new thing for you to learn about the Fediverse: The Fediverse is not only Mastodon.)
Or a Facebook with a side of a blog and a cloud server (Friendica, (streams), Forte).
(Here's the second important new thing for you to learn about the Fediverse: The Fediverse is not only short-form microblogging. Look at this comment. Look at what I've done. Embedded links. Bold type. Impossible on Mastodon. But possible elsewhere in the Fediverse.)
Or a Facebook meets WordPress meets Google Cloud Services meets even more stuff on top (Hubzilla; this is where I am).
Or an Instagram (Pixelfed).
Or a YouTube (PeerTube).
Or a Twitch (Owncast).
Or a Reddit (Lemmy, /kbin, Mbin, PieFed).
Or a Goodreads (BookWyrm).
Or whatever. There are over 150 different server applications in the Fediverse.
mastodon.social, where you are, is only one of over 10,000 big and small Twitters of the same kind (Mastodon).
If Mastodon was like Discord, all 10,000+ Mastodon servers would run in one and the same gigantic data centre in the USA, owned by Mastodon, Inc. And they would all be property of Mastodon, Inc.
If the Fediverse was like Discord, all 30,000+ Fediverse servers would run in one and the same gigantic data centre in the USA, owned by Mastodon, Inc. And they would all be property of Mastodon, Inc. Also, they would be fully identical in functionality.
But as I've said above: They're all running on their own separate machines. With their own separate owners.
And the different server applications have different developers, and they are being developed independently from one another.
Okay, now comes the kicker: These server applications are not walled up against one another. Not only are all instances of the same server applications (e.g. Mastodon) connected to each other, but all instances of one server application are also connected to all instances of all the other server applications.
Imagine you're on Twitter. But your new friend is on Facebook. You can't follow a Facebook user on Twitter, and you can't follow a Twitter user on Facebook.
In the Fediverse, you can. You can be on Twitter. And follow a Facebook user. Directly from Twitter. Without a Facebook account.
Only that they aren't named Twitter and Facebook in the Fediverse. Twitter is named Mastodon or Pleroma or Akkoma or Misskey or Calckey or Firefish or Iceshrimp or Sharkey or Catodon or... There are dozens of Twitter alternatives in the Fediverse. Well, and Facebook is named Friendica or Hubzilla or (streams) or Forte.
You can be on Mastodon. And you can follow Friendica accounts. From Mastodon. Without a Friendica account.
This comment is a very good example. You are on Mastodon, created by @Eugen Rochko in 2016 as an alternative to Twitter that aimed to be as close to Twitter as possible.
The server that you're on, mastodon.social, is owned by Mastodon, Inc. and running on one or multiple rack servers in San Francisco, California, USA owned by Fastly.
I am on Hubzilla, created by @Mike Macgirvin
in 2012 by forking his own Friendica from 2010, and currently mainly maintained by @Mario Vavti and @Harald Eilertsen. Hubzilla has got nothing to do with Mastodon whatsoever. It started out as an alternative to Facebook, but not a clone, rather better than Facebook, with full-blown long-form blogging capability and a built-in file storage, and it has been enhanced greatly in functionality even beyond that.
The server that I'm on, Netzgemeinde, is owned and administered by @Mark Nowiasz, who has no affiliation with the Hubzilla developers, and running on a rack server in Nuremberg, Germany owned by Netcup.
And yet, you can see this comment coming from Hubzilla on Mastodon.

Merci pour vos réponses :)
Vous auriez un tuto qui explique comment créer sa propre #instance ?
Désolé je débute
I'm moving out of US-based instance Mastodon Dot Social. I prefer being on an instance in a GDPR country.
Sorry for the confusion and inconvenience.
Hi and welcome to the #Fediverse to all #newcomers! 
I am Tommi, the administrator of Pan, a tiny, cozy, friendly, #antiFascist, 
#transFeminist, and #antiCapitalist instance. 
As you are wandering around this whimsical space, I know it might be a bit confusing and hard to figure it out. 
Just give yourselves time! 
This place does not follow the algorithmic rules of mainstream, billionaire-owned, centralized social networks. 
Actually, the Fediverse has no rules at all! 
Every community chooses their own principles and governance. If there is anything you are not comfortable with, you are completely free to move anywhere you want, without losing the people you are in touch with.
If you believe you share the vibe and the values of #Pan (this instance), we would be super happy to welcome you! Just get in touch with me however you want. It is of paramount importance that we all spread around, populating smaller servers, rather than flooding big ones.
Have fun and be excellent to each other!
Tommi’s mindNow
More from 
Tommi
I do understand, though, why people aren't too willing to come to the #Fediverse.
Even if we ignore issues like "what is an #instance and how do I choose one?" they will still run into issues like following a locked account and not being able to see older posts, just because they somehow don't sync with their own instance BUT they can also not see them in the "original page" because then they won't be logged-in to that instance and essentially this content will be out of reach...
Bonsoir la fedisphère je suis à la recherche de conseils d’instances pour une maison d’édition dont la ligne éditoriale tourne autour du mouvement en littérature — voyage, quête ou exil — et qui est très attachée à la qualité de fabrication de ses ouvrages (papier de création, façonnage à la main, réutilisation des chutes de papier pour créer des livres objets…).
Les repouets font fleurir la poésie
Hello #admins @puppygirlhornypost2, @selene @kio, @hazelnoot, @admin of this #instance, may I suggest a #feature you should add?
It would be great if we could add the ability to silence #reactions, especially 
and related. This is for no particular reason.
