    Define ‘weird political shit’. Because Mastodon is also full of weird political shit. The election years are unbearable.

      Mastodon is also full of weird political shit.

      You have been friending the wrong people.

    I’d go for stability. Smaller instances can be slow. If you want fast load times use a bigger one, like mastodon.social

    If you like Lemmy.World, why not set up the account on Mastodon.World? It’s the same admin/ops team.

    I second moshidon, although I’ve just started using phanpy, which has some cool innovations. There is not nearly the wealth of Mastodon apps that we have here on Lemmy.

    If you don’t want weird political shit, avoid the largest ones, like .social.

    I am on mastodon.art which has most of the fascist distros blocked and I use Tusky. I love it.

    Mastodon also has great filtering tools and temp muting so you can curate your experience pretty tightly too.

    noc.social is a small but quick server. Don’t use Android so I can’t speak to that.

    And I will say that I’ve got much better engagement on Mastodon than I ever did Twitter. The people overall are kinder and more thoughtful. It’s more likely that the disrupters just aren’t there yet. Almost everyone I had followed on Twitter is on Mastodon though. May not be the same for everyone.

        Lemmy and Mastodon are partially interoperable. Mastodon users can post to Lemmy by tagging a community, and can reply to Lemmy posts. Mastodon users can follow Lemmy communities, but the UX is pretty rough. Lemmy users cannot follow Mastodon users.

    App wise I recommend just using the progressive web app (install website as app). It works very well, and you always get the latest updates.

    For the server, find one that targets one of your interests.

    I’m on a local Scottish instance called glasgow.social because the admin is relaxed about free speech without allowing it to become a total cesspool. Almost got kicked off treehouse.systems before I migrated because I suggested political violence was bad - even if left wing people were doing it.

    Dunno how to answer your question BUT X-twitter was always political. It’s worse now because of the upcoming elections, AND if Elon is actually going to be a part of the government it’ll be a raging dumpster fire. Good luck, OP.
