That's a pretty wide order.

That, from my preliminary checks when trying to buy in, is going unfulfilled. It seems like no one wants to join yet another network just to wait for it to get users. As some other people havenoted jn other discussions, Mastadon seems to be either non-English or specialized in ways that don't apply to me at all.

I've run into this myself, so I'm working on creating an instance that's a bit more geared towards engineering / tech discussion. It's nyquist.space [1] if you're interested.

It's not hosted on Mastodon but on Pleroma [2] instead so it's more barebones at the moment. (But saves a LOT on cpu/memory resources)

Disclaimer: I'm the only user currently. :-)
