Any server recs for my mom?

[lynneverson@masto.ai]

@alisynthesis @FediTips I've been happy here on masto.ai, which is part of mstdn.social. It's not topic specific, but I quickly saw artists and crafty people (and scientists and, and, and) to follow. The more people I followed, the more boosts I saw for others to follow... @KarenDorman posts and boosts many of those topics, and I have all seen cool stuff on mastodon.art hope she has fun getting started!

@lynneverson thank you!!

@alisynthesis Wonderful dogs. This should be a rule here: if you ask for something you must reward people with a picture of a dog – or even better dogs. Greeting from our dachsundoids

[srlevine@neuromatch.social]

@alisynthesis sunny.garden has a lot of crafters

ETA: also the knitting fiberarts etc hashtags are very active if she follows those she will find a lot of other people

[nxskok@cupoftea.social]

@alisynthesis @FediTips personal take: pick a server, any server (well, almost any), follow some hashtags (eg., those), then follow a choice of the people who use these hashtags, and see who they boost.

@Szescstopni omg they are PRECIOUS. Following you in hopes for more pictures of them in my future.

[szescstopni@circumstances.run]

@alisynthesis There's lots of them under #IdąPsięta

@alisynthesis @FediTips

If she's into both Art and Science, she might enjoy the #SciArt tag.

[wizardofdocs@wandering.shop]

@alisynthesis lots of fibercrafters on wandering dot shop, and I can get her an invite link

tired: capitalism
wired: dog photo economy

[stomata@procial.tchncs.de]

@alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com @FediTips@social.growyourown.services sunny.garden can be an option

[msbellows@c.im]

@alisynthesis @FediTips I'm content with c.im, because it's simply been drama-free.

[growfediverse@dillyofapickle.com]

@alisynthesis @FediTips Maybe some of the servers of participants from #SolarpunkSundays may be a good fit? (or they may know of some good ones).

Also she may like Friendica more than Mastodon as a fediverse option as it has functionality more similar to Facebook, and there's a few different server options there too that might work.

[vieveca@toot.aquilenet.fr]

@alisynthesis @FediTips following different hashtags, including those you've already found
Maybe she'll like #crochet and #visiblemending or #mosstodon

[futzle@old.mermaid.town]

@alisynthesis @FediTips She’s welcome on old.mermaid.town though the packet trip time to Sydney might not be ideal. I think some of the recs you’ve already had are perfectly cromulent.

[otherryn@sunny.garden]

@alisynthesis sunny.garden is the home to a lot of artisans. The !@knitting !@fiberarts and !@crafters groups are good ones to follow and participate in, as well as following hashtags that match her interests

[iwillyeah@mastodon.ie]

@FediTips @alisynthesis I picked a region based server because it gives me info and insight into things near me or relevant to me that I might otherwise miss. Hashtags for my interests work well for me then. The mods are also sound. Just another way of thinking about a server's benefits.

[withquieteyes@app.wafrn.net]

It might be a bit furry-heavy for your mom, but I'm having a lot of fun over here on Wafrn - the conversation format is much more satisfying. I never had Twitter and so I never got used to the way comment threads worked on Mastodon

[feditips@social.growyourown.services]

@alisynthesis

https://sunny.garden is popular with crafters and is a well-run server.
