Thinking about starting a #Mastodon instance, but not sure about a theme to build on.
I live in #Chicago - are instances based around large cities or locations a thing?
I generally work in and know #tech, but we already have an instance or three of those. Less generally I'm mostly in the #Apple neck of the woods, could that be a thing?
I love games, but we already have elekk.xyz and others covering the (board) game space.
Thoughts? Advice?
@chartier I’m from the north of Ireland and the tech community there has had a Slack community for a long time. It was a natural extension to create an instance around our tech community and nitech.online was born. So we’ve done the location- and interest-based themes combined.
That said, I consider our instance open to people who are tech adjacent too.
PS Long-time subscriber to Bear here. Love the work y’all do, and still pumped for the new editor!
@mo Hey this is good info, and thanks for the kind words!
