Hey guys,
I’m sure some of you have seen me around the last couple of days. I was wondering if we have a dedicated place to “advertise” our smaller instances at. I’ve seen more and more discussions recently about pushing users away from the main instance and towards smaller instances (but then nobody knows where/who/what to send them to). I’d like to put message out somewhere that my instance is ready for those folks with open arms.
Is kbinmeta the best place for that? I don’t think kbin has support for “stickied” posts yet. I want to tell new users that I have a chill instance with <10 people on it and I have the ability to scale it up as we get more people. I don’t know where to tell people that or what the correct behavior is for this situation.
We definitely don’t want server advertising to turn into WoW buying/selling gold bot spam chat 😅

Yeah I see what you mean, https://kbin.fediverse.observer/list
Sure that tells you what instances you can register for but it’s impossible to know if you will like the rules or how an instance is run. I think there will have to be some standardization across instances like you said, a designated place with a concise description to check for info. Imo, it shouldn’t take you longer than a 20-30 second read to tell if you will like that instance or not.
