Mastodon - What should I know? Is there a reason I should pick one mastodon instance over another?

Reddit refuge here, just getting comfortable in Kbin/Lemmy and plan to eventually join in the rest of the Fediverse, and thinking Mastodon would be my next step.

Choose an instance with a community that suits you. Like a hobby, interests or a regional one. I'm on a regional instance for northern germany, so my local timeline is all toots from that region which is pretty nice.

Don't go for the big ones like mastodon .social, it's against the idea of federation to have huge instances with millions of users

@squirrel is it like lemmy/kbin - you see content from other instances?

Yes, all instances federate with each other unless they are blocked. You can follow accounts and hashtags from all over mastodon
