Hello guys! New here. I’m coming in peace from a friendly polish instance - fedit.pl. Actually I was contacted by Alice (I believe?) on one of subreddits, had a very nice chat and figured that this instance has to be quite cool. A question for starters - you are not federated - why? If you don’t want to federate with all that crap out there, you can just put a few friendly instances on your whitelist in admin options (assuming they also have only friendly whitelisted instances).
All good! We’ve got a decent starter list, you can try using the search to find external communities that you’d like to see content from.
I hope the main result of this will also be that you will get more engagement on the things you do post.
