@FediTips@social.growyourown.services the only reason use the official instance is because I didn't understand how the platform worked and I was worried that it wouldn't be active on other instances but now seeing how many other instances and even personal instances show up on my feed i might do that I just don't feel like dealing with moderating myself is there a easy way to defederate with the not good instances automatically

@wintervoid01@mastodon.social @FediTips@social.growyourown.services if you migrate to a good instance they should already have defederated all of the bad instances, so you don't need to worry

@tauon@possum.city @FediTips@social.growyourown.services which one would you recommend? also I'm considering self hosting my own instance because I've been going through a homelabbing phase and jellyfin and next cloud aren't enough but it also seems like too much effort to moderate

If you're running a personal server and you keep sign-ups closed, then there wouldn't be much moderation as you would be the only person on the server.

The only stuff you would see showing up on your server is whatever you choose to follow, plus whatever they share (and also whatever relays you connect to if you want to, but relays are optional).

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @tauon@possum.city what instances would you recommend for to check out to migrate to maybe

I run a website at https://fedi.garden that recommends instances, and the official Mastodon list is at https://joinmastodon.org/servers

These two sites are good because they have certain requirements for being listed (https://fedi.garden/about-this-site and https://joinmastodon.org/covenant).

There are also other sites with much bigger selections of servers, but they usually don't have requirements so they're more dangerous to rely on.
