Hi Mastodon! I'm looking to migrate to a new instance from .social in an effort to strengthen the fediverse (through growing diverse instances) and hopefully build my community here. If you have recommendations for instances currently open to signup that focus on #solarpunk #permaculture #urbanHomesteading #antiCapitalism and the like, I'd love to hear them.

Many thanks to folks using the content warning (CW) feature on posts as needed (especially violent photos or videos). Thanks also for adding hashtags, helpful for filtering / searching / following ❤️

FYI, a CW does not hide information, it adds information. It only takes one click to reveal the body of the post. It gives folks with PTSD or other issues a chance to prepare.

Anyone who finds CWs annoying can set an option to expand all CW posts - see attached image.
