I’m currently on TenForward.social, which is great. I have no issues with the users or admin. They’re all good people. But I’m more of a casual Trek fan and posting about anything non-Trek-related doesn’t seem to be what the other members want to engage with. I like to post about sci fi or horror movies I’m watching, games I’m playing, old TV shows from the '90s and '00s, and other geeky things I’m into; but it’s like I’m talking to myself when I do.

I know there’s also the global feed, but that’s like spitting into the ocean.

I’ve tried to find more of a general media or geek-culture focused instance but have come up dry. Does anyone know of something along those lines?

    If you’re happy with your instance, there’s arguably no need to switch. Just follow people anywhere on Fedi and interact with them. Before you know it you’ll have a community.

    I ran my own Mastodon instance for a while, and it didn’t matter I was on a server with only one user (me). It’s all about following, followers and interacting. The instance itself fades away quickly.

    So, you don’t mention anime or anything and thus the instance I run, https://urusai.social, probably isn’t a great fit BUT…

    Our feeds are absolutely bursting at the seams with the type of content you say you enjoy. I recommend checking out our public timeline and looking at the servers of the users that show up there. A lot of them are very geeky: https://urusai.social/public

      Thanks for the suggestion, but I definitely wouldn’t consider myself a hacker or even much of a tech enthusiast. As Sir Elton/Shatner said, “it’s just my job five days a week.”
