Americans, yes (including myself). But American-centric? Not that I've seen. Many of my favorite follows are N-A (Non-American). There are lots of gardeners of various sorts who are very active on here. Also, if you like such things, this Saturday check out #caturday
Welcome to the land of discussions, not arguments. I hope you will enjoy it. Even the weirdos like me.@HMLivy By American-centric, I mean that the majority of discussions on the other platforms are focused on the US (good, bad, etc.). Enough already, LOL, there are a lot more topics to discuss and viewpoints to share. So far, Mastodon is a lovely place. Thank you for the welcome!

There is a very active group of Australians you might like. Aus Social or something like that. Sorry, but I don't remember the exact hashtag. -

Hello from my new #Mastadon account. I deleted #Facebook, #Pinterest, #Instagram & #BlueSky. I hope this forum is not so American-centric. Here's to #gardening #nature #flowers and #maincoons !
Hi from "an Englishman here in Spain!"...
Can't avoid the US aspect, but there are significant numbers of people from around the globe (including the US) who just want to socialise.
A bonus? The use of hashtags can be used to filter any unwanted interaction away from your timeline.
A nation is not its populace.
Nor is the populace a nation.
Too many politicians WANT division between peers as together we CAN tell them they are neither needed, nor (in some cases) wanted.

@vcallinan
Nope. They should show up in your feed just fine. One of the more active is @dgar -

@vcallinan somehow a lot of the content I see is in German. So I think it's just about how you tailor your feed if it's going to be an american-centric or not.

@vcallinan Hello and welcome

@ottomate FB wouldn't cancel my account , despite following the process several times. Took about a year. I do miss some of the FB offerings like Marketplace, but not enough to go back. Most of my FB followers were people I knew, so I see them at meetings. Was freeing making the break.
@vcallinan Marketplace is very useful...so I created an account from which I do not post, follow or add "friends". Just sell stuff. It was tricky to open the account without providing an email.
