Why, https://mastodon.world of course, since it's also ran by @ruud, the admin of lemmy.world. I feel he knows what he's doing with hosting better than most instances.

MODERATORS
Well according to commenters and posters in some communities, they themselves are the smartest and should be running the show.
I'm sure they're welcome to, if they want to spin up their own instances. :D
See that would require more than being a keyboard warrior
Linux.pizza because it had open registration at the time I created an account and I am interested in both, Linux and pizzas.
I'm on mastodonapp.uk for the same reason I'm on feddit.uk; I sought out a local instance.
mathstodon.xyz
It's for people who like mathematics, I found it through a educational YouTuber. It seemed like a good fit for me, plus the name of the server is great.
I'm on https://mastodon.world, but for personal stuff I created https://ruud.social and for hobbies I run https://pool.social and https://musicworld.social.
Oh and I also have https://calckey.world but I don't post too much there.
LOL you run all of those Ruud! LOL
I run 11 fedi servers in total.
certifiable. LOL
I'm on mas.to. Chose it because it's got a decent UK presence (but isn't a UK-specific server), is quite popular, and the admin runs it well.
Same.
It's a good, well-maintained general server. But its not the big default server, which tends to attract spam bots and risks being defederarated from the rest of Mastodon.
https://mastodon.social just as I am on https://kbin.social
I kept it simple.
I thing you can interact with Madtodon from kbin as well. It does both link/threads (lemmy) and microblog (mastodon). That's also what "boost" does. If you boost a post or comment, you retweet (retoot?) it to your microblog.
I have 4 Mastodon accounts, 1 on Vivaldi (as I use this browser), and 3 on Polish servers. My main one is on 101010.pl (largest Polish, can read formatted posts), other ones are on pol.social and mastodon.com.pl. I was also on calckey.pl, but Calckey appararently was not ready for use - the instance is now closing down. I have a Polish /kbin account (on karab.in), and WriteFreely and Mobilizon accounts.
Ah! I'm on Mastodon.world!
EDIT: You also asked for why. Well, I wrote a blog post about it, actually...
I'm on mstdn.social. The admin is really cool, and the server is big enough to my liking.
Same. I like Stux and find a good general instance a great way to discover people and connect.
Outside of the one time he gut defederated with mastodon.art too reactively, he’s been a fair and good moderator. Not too open (like mastodon.social) and not to overbearing (like mastodon.art)
With that being said, I do plan on switching to a smaller one once I get some good connections and feel like I’ve done my part to support the Fediverse as a whole. Just find a nice server of queer goofy dorks like me.
Now that I'm more aware about federation things and more servers appear in the wild, maybe I'll change to a smaller one too. But I'm too lazy, and I've already changed my first instance to mstdn.social a year ago.
tech.lgbt/ it's a bit self explanatory lol
I'm on neovibe.app however federation over there is completely broken right now
Update on this, federation on neovibe is fixed now
I'm on sciences.social, because I am a social scientist. There's a number for different sciences that are good for keeping up with your field. I don't know about other occupations but I assume they're out there. Also, as with all things federated, the server doesn't matter too much once you get rolling.
infosec.exchange, I don't work in infosec but it's a cool community
That was one of the two that Deviant Ollam recommended in a popular video
I'm over at https://mastodon.gamedev.place and enjoy it a ton.
There are a number of prolific game designers as well as tons of indie devs sharing knowledge + life updates. A very cozy instance without any hateful BS.
deacon.social, as I'm Christian. It's a niche community, but it works almost as well as the big instances, while defending the Federation system.
leftist.network
Seems kind of self-explanatory...
I'm on linux.pizza I'm a linux guy, and the server is administrated by a swedish guy, makes it easier to communicate with the admin. He also has been really great when I've been interacting with him :)
mastodon.world, clearly the best!
fosstodon.org - They are very competent people and there to stay.
