Let's discuss Utter.Online (Mastodon) (discuss.online)

Hello,

Another service we run is a Mastodon instance called https://utter.online/. It doesn't have many active users; however, it's a beast to host.

I'm considering changing to a new domain and/or changing the software or shutting it down.

The current domain name options are:

toot.onl
toot.discuss.online

I haven't done much research into alternatives to Mastodon.

Let me know your thoughts!

I've also tooted about it here: https://utter.online/@jsonarray/114161376708082696

Thanks, jgrim

Federated services always have that issue, but you can always go to some bigger one like mastodon.social if you are confused. Not great for "federation network" but if the choice is between using a big server or not using at all, it's fine to go with that.

As for finding people, you can generally browse the "All" feed and see everything that's going it, and then follow anyone you find interesting. Some people also do #FollowFriday or things like that. You can also start by following some people you know.
