Here's a list of #mastodon instances sorted by users I follow. That looks a bit unhealthy. Too many on mastodon.social. Try to use other instances! It's #federated for a reason over here!
7 norden.social;
7 troet.cafe;
8 digitalcourage.social;
9 octodon.social;
9 social.bund.de;
9 social.tchncs.de;
11 mstdn.social;
11 social.network.europa.eu;
12 floss.social;
18 fosstodon.org;
19 muenchen.social;
24 mastodon.online;
68 chaos.social;
149 mastodon.social;
Also also. Dear @EU_Commission - invest a little and hire some good admins and a bunch of servers and open up social.network.europa.eu to all EU citizens (or - just everyone)!
I did this check in a geeky way, export my follows as CSV and
$> awk -F@ '{print $2}' < friends.csv | sort | uniq -c | sort
