Agreed; I was more concerned with the possibility of the vast bulk of communities ending up on a couple instances rather than having major communities spread out. Having some way to keep similar communities connected and effectively moderated would be a great boon for us. How we best go about that, I’m not sure.
@AlmightySnoo
I’d rather not see one instance become overly dominant, it just acts to centralize content and puts undue strain on that instance.
@Kayzels
In my experience it can take a while (upwards of a day at times) for your instance to cache content from others that you’ve subscribed to.

@Angry_Maple As someone who uses Keepass, I highly recommend KeepassXC over the regular release. There is an open security vulnerability that the original devs aren’t really addressing: www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/… the XC release team has mitigated this and has generally been better about improving the UX.
@alehel @noodlejetski I’ll add that when Twitter first hit the fan there was a large influx of Mastodon users, but it quickly fell off. Perhaps there are more tech-savvy Reddit users who will dive into the Fediverse than did with Twitter/Mastodon, but for your average user we’re not approachable enough yet to overcome the inertia of familiarity.

I just tinker with mine, the software just isn’t mature enough for daily driver use for the majority of users, myself included.

@Clbull A highly-upvoted comment suggests moving to Tilde. Is Tilde federated? I can’t find anything that indicates it might be.

For someone new to Linux I’d recommend Linux Mint, check out their install guide if you’re interested: linuxmint-installation-guide.r…
Once you get a feel for it, spin up some VM’s to test out other distros to suit your taste. Have fun!
