You know people told me to do this with Lemmy and I ended up choosing a lemmy.ml . I found out later I guess that’s the Antichrist and I shouldn’t have done that. What’s the best way to understand what server is kosher?

Mastodon.social, I guess?

(I'm either right or someone will show up to correct me shortly, as per Murphy's law :P)

@happydoors @MousePotatoDoesStuff no, Murphy's law is whatever can go wrong will.

Haha, o no. Mmmmh, I would go around server lists (heard good things about https://fedi.garden/ ) and then look at the public timeline of a server and also at the server rules. I did this for finding a new Pixelfed instance a few months ago (didn't find anything I liked) and it was interesting to see if people had just pasted the standard rules (kind of a red flag for me, personally), wrote some bs like "be nice to each other" or had taken care of thinking about this.

I'm right there with you. To be honest, I'm still figuring out Lemmy myself; like how it's different from Mastodon and why content sometimes crosses over. It seems straightforward to a lot of people, but it's a learning curve for me lol.
