@Bicyclejohn I’m a big Friendica fan
Which instance do I join? most of them seem private. Are there any that don't ask for lots of info?
@Bicyclejohn @goatsarah I believe this one is open to new subscribers.
Sorry but how do I make an account in it. All I can see is a sign in, no sign up
Dunno. I self host
So something relatively different is calckey. Not sure you'll like it but you might be curious. Best description I can think of is that it's based on a chiefly japanese platform and is probably the fediverse's closest answer to MySpace. It's still maturing, but I think it has a bright future, especially as an alternative to the excessively dominant Mastodon.
@Bicyclejohn you can check out fediverse.party for the proper software you might like. As mentioned, Friendica is one, writefreely is another, and there is also jointhefediverse.net that has a good comparison list of if you liked "X" then you'll probably like "Y".
Possibly Pleroma using Husky, but pleroma is similar to mastodon but with advntages (way lower server requirements, emoji reactions, etc)
