Imagine choosing a fediverse provider for the first time.

You're using a guided service/server/instance/community picker.

Step 1: Do you prefer a service that:

1. primarily supports a specific language
2. is regionally relevant to you (maybe a city or a country), or
3. matches a theme or topic you care about?
4. something else (add your comment below)

Which would you click first?

(Boosts to non-English and Global South accounts are greatly appreciated.)

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://mastodon.iftas.org/users/jaz/statuses/114693479709862403 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
