I like to pair that ask with a recommendation for a great server to join. Obviously they are very welcome to go down a rabbit hole themselves and pick out one themselves, but in my experience a thoughtful recommendation of a suitable server or two really helps them to actually step across and to feel supported in the process.</p><p>I see it as this 'first account' divide, once in and playing around, people get much more confident either bedding in with where they started or making additional accounts on other servers, for themselves or their projects/orgs.</p><p>It's sort of like recommending a good place to go for dinner or a good wine or movie suggesstion.</p><p>Do you have certain mastodon servers you recommend to particular people, would love to hear your thoughts.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Instances" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Instances</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PickingAMastodonInstance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PickingAMastodonInstance</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/GettingStarted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GettingStarted</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/MastodonTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MastodonTips</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/FediverseGettingStarted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FediverseGettingStarted</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/GrowingMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GrowingMastodon</span></a></p>
