wrote up the thing that trips up nearly every newcomer to this network:
the server picker page isn't asking you to pick a Mastodon. it's asking you to pick a neighborhood. ActivityPub is the road system — it's open, it's shared, it connects every instance to every other instance that hasn't blocked it. what you're choosing is the community whose timeline, rules, and culture shape your local experience.
some things worth knowing before you choose:
→ most major instances are donation-funded, not ad-supported.
→ AI policy is now a real community differentiator.
→ regional and language instances have a center of gravity that the flagship can't credibly provide.
→ the initial choice is revisable. account portability is built in. your followers move with you.

For year two, I want to keep focusing on 'sense-making'. Dream projects would be arts/heritage/third-sector orgs that value thought over noise.
I've got two agencies and another freelancer on my books, but it wouldn't hurt to have a couple more. I've got some availability over summer to fill.

The good news is that <a href=\"https://mastodon.social/\">mastodon.social</a> already supports this as it is running the nightly build. It will be included in the next major release (4.6) as mentioned in <a href=\"https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/04/trunk-tidbits-march-2026/\">Trunk & Tidbits, March 2026</a> so that other Mastodon servers will support it.</p>\n\n<p>Usually, the idea is suppose a visitor Alice from home server A.com visits Bob\u2019s account on server B.com. Alice would like to easily follow Bob. Alice clicks on the follow button and is prompted for her fediverse address and she submits alice@A.com. Her browser makes a CORS webfinger request to A.com so that the web page at B.com can discover what url to redirect Alice to so that she can follow Bob from her home server where she is logged in. My setup is slightly different because my follow button is on my blog instead of on my fediverse server.</p>\n\n<p>The code was added to Mastodon in <a href=\"https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/commit/69b1f60f4e46cf58e7240c2bfb81588accc1af6f\">Add support for FEP-3b86 (Activity Intents) (#38120)</a> and it seems there are 2 different values for \u201crel\u201d a home server may offer to accept a follow: <a href=\"https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/3b86/fep-3b86.md#4-10-follow-intent\">4.10 Follow Intent</a> and <a href=\"https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/3b86/fep-3b86.md#5-1-object-intent\">5.1 Object Intent</a> so my button <a href=\"https://github.com/herestomwiththeweather/herestomwiththeweather.github.io/blob/master/_includes/follow.html#L42\">accepts 2 different values</a>.</p>\n\n<pre><code>var rels = ['https://w3id.org/fep/3b86/Follow', 'https://w3id.org/fep/3b86/Object'];\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Intents are for all activities but it seems there is a tendency for fediverse home servers to support just a subset of activities at the moment.

Making the Case for Slow Technologies
It's time to intentionally slow down the technology in our lives so our brains (and often our emotions) have time to react, think, and respond appropriately. We do not always have to maximize efficiency and minimize friction.
