I'm so out of the loop with what Fedi instances to recommend to new people these days. What the fuck even is a "Sharkey"? I checked through the open registration Mastodon instances and didn't really find a perfect fit there. Is there a list of good open registration Akkoma and whatever-else instances somewhere? My old absturztaube just serves AI scraper nonsense to me when trying to visit it so I guess that's out of the question at least. Would be nice to find one of those instances with a bubble of active users and hosted outside the US.
