A friend asked for a list of mastodon instances. Anyone has a favorite list they go to in this situation?

I know of joinmastodon.org/servers, but there are some weird choices there, so I wonder if there are other, more curated, lists.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://wandering.shop/users/wrench/statuses/115726301997921594 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
