Hello. So, since 2022 I visited several Mastodon servers or created an account on them, and I somehow feel uncomfortable on all of them. Either they’re filled with activism / politics, which I don’t give a fck about, or they’re filled with people from the US or people who cares more about US than about their own countries (admins included), and I’m tired of that sht.
I was looking for international Mastodon servers with the less amount of Usonian shenanigans, but it’s impossible to do that kind of search, and I don’t know any other fediverse place to hang out as a non-Usonian person. Any recommendation?
You can look at https://joinmastodon.org/servers and then Region and see which servers are interesting for you. Besides that if you follow a lot of persons which use your language and have similar interests your local timeline can be better for you. And you can follow hashtags like for example #gardening #flowers #birds
Apart from this, the Explore option on Mastodon, no matter which servers I’ve tried very often is full of US content, but there’s no need to use the Explore when your local timeline is interesting.
Issue is when I follow people, my timeline reaches the post I read in a previous moment, and then I go to local timeline, the whole server timeline, and then the issue appears, in the same way I subscribe to lemmy communities, i read everything and then go to local or global timelines.
Following hashtags is good, but it doesn’t solve that issue when people don’t use them. Even filtering words doesn’t work well because there are generic terms that can be used generically or in a US-focused topic.
