Mastodon is a hot topic now, and with Twitter constantly breaking their API there must be more than a handful of developers looking for joinable instances. But are there any? Should dev.to host one?

I don't really feel this "everyone must be on Mastodon now!" going on in my bubble. Maybe everyone can't find a suitable instance or app to use and they roll back to Twitter?
Toot.cafe is hosted by the awesome Nolan Lawson. Lots of developers are on there, though mostly front-end I believe. Mastodon also has a federated timeline with cross-instance toots so you don't have to be afraid of being locked-in with only the people of your instance :)
Cool! Signing up now.
I'm on there :)

ruby.social, if you're into Ruby.
I have recently joined an instance called @mastodon.technology. As the name suggests, it is full of techies, many of whom I have been actively following on Twitter, who migrated over to Mastodon full-time. I blogged about my early endeavours on Mastodon in a recent post.
In case any of you have already joined Mastodon, or thinking about coming over, you are more than welcome to add me as a friend: @preslavrachev@mastodon.technology
mastodon.technology/@matteojoliveau, freshly registered as I lost my previous account (not that I was ever very active, I always fall back to Twitter. But this instance seems more alive than the previous one I joined).
This instance has gotten some mentions, and looks promising. Do you think the admins are reliable; as in they keep the platform updates rolling and data backed up?
For what I can see yes, he is very active in terms of updates, it is hosted on DigitalOcean and has a small but steady income through Patreon
Does anybody have any invites to mastodon.technology/ ?
Old post, but thought I would chime in for future searches...
try fosstodon.org
I've found myself comfortable in mastodon.technology - but maybe someday I'll peek into this one, thanks.
itdev.social
Here is a new developer.social community.
Hopefully a good home, now that mastodon.technology shuts down in a few weeks.
If you're a developer/techie from Africa, there's also mastodon.africa. You can find me there 😉
