I've been playing around a little bit with Mastodon in the last few days, thanks especially to the Tusky app (I believe it's only available for android devices though). I'm enjoying it a lot, but I migrated instances today for a couple of reasons and I don't know if I'm satisfied. Sadly I now have to wait another thirty days before I can migrate again, although it's still very early days for me so it might be worth deleting my existing account and opening an account on the instance I may actually want to be on instead... I don't know. I'm waffling.
Overall, I'm really liking the interface. I like the CW cut option. I like the 500 character limit. I like that the number of boosts and favourites aren't publicized on first glance. I like that I can browse a feed consisting of people followed by the people I follow.
The biggest problem I'm facing is that the fannish servers (or instances) actively accepting new accounts don't seem to have any kpop fandom presence at all, and what I want to talk about is kpop. The instance I joined, fandom.community, is interesting and it's still evolving, but while it's moderated it also seems like it might be a little too free for me? There isn't much to browse in the local or federated feeds that aren't about kinks and content I'm not into (like, borderline uncomfortable not into - I abide by ship and let ship for the most part, but there are still some things that are not my cup of tea). I think maybe if more friends migrated to Mastodon and I could expand my following list, it would make a big difference in my browsing experience. In the meantime, it is very slow moving compared to twitter, and I don't know how I feel about that. My brain needs to be kept occupied!
