Hey Masto, looking for instance recs for a new alt, for more gendery/trans posting, and for following the same.
Goals:
- Queer and/or trans(-femme) focused (not necessarily exclusively)
- Cool with nb transfemme folks
- Smallish-to-medium sized (~5k ish users or less?)
- Bonus: some of my follows already there
- Joinable, of course (invite/by request is great)
If you want more criteria, check my reply to this post. I put a poll with the two big-ish instaces that seem to fit in case y'all have opinions about them, but if you have specific recs/experience (with these or others!) then reply away. Thanks!

more details, because brevity is not my strength
Firstly apologies if you were the person who voted on an earlier version of this post, I am an inveterate delete-and-redraft-er.
Anyway. Goals from a different angle, I'm looking for:
- A protected acct that's somewhat less connected to the rest of my internet identity
- A local timeline that's more specifically gendery/trans
- Somewhere to post my own more gendery/trans posts that don't quite fit on my main
- An acct from which to follow/interact with other folks' alts
I'm yet another transfemme techie/maker, so I would fit in places that hit that overlap, but am not specifically seeking that out (and would prioritize the trans/queer side).
Sizewise, I just want enough folks that I'm not the center of attention as the new kid, and that the local timeline has stuff going by.
Still pretty tentative/wary of being put in any particular trans/gender boxes, so an instance that's not cool with e.g. bi/pan lesbians or nb lesbians is probs not gonna be my jam.

@cincodenada we have about 30 users, it’s pretty small.

@cincodenada hi, cathode.church is specifically aimed at people like you (and me), if you’re interested. I’m the admin.
