I find it very strange that of all the genres/topics for a server that furry is in the top 10 at Mastadon.

To each their own but I see it on every list about servers and it's rather odd to me that such a specific and not exactly mainstream genre is so popular on there.

Furries are the original purrsecuted, so they were most likely to join alt-social networks. -- nm - Qale Dec 17, 07:15
I think I'm missing something because I'm not seeing anything when I search for sneakers. -- nm - Krusty Dec 17, 05:29 17
- Do you mean a server? Yeah, it's hard finding servers with even more common popular culture type interests. I think it's because server admins aren't - mara xmas, ya filthy animals Dec 17, 05:40 9
  - I'm not really seeing anything. One post of someone posting a pic of a new pair of sneakers they're wearing was all that came up. - Krusty Dec 17, 05:51 8

        So, you have to search on different servers? -- nm - Krusty Dec 17, 06:21 1
        
        Might make sense to do searches on the largest servers, then. -- nm - mara xmas, ya filthy animals Dec 17, 06:56
        
        Oh, wow, I can see results other instances. I never even tried that. -- nm - mara xmas, ya filthy animals Dec 17, 06:18 2
        
        That's why I think it's your server, plus other "Open" decentralized servers. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 17, 07:01 1
        
        I guess I don't know the difference between open decentralized servers and other kinds. -- nm* - mara xmas, ya filthy animals Dec 17, 07:04
- I could be wrong, but trending hashtags, and hashtag searches, are really only on your instance. - JaxSean Dec 17, 05:40 6
  - For hashtags, that's not true. Hashtag searches are across instancess. It just takes a while for them to populate, or whatever the word is. I've -- (edited) - mara xmas, ya filthy animals Dec 17, 05:43 5

        It's so much smaller a community than Twitter. Of course, for me it took maybe a year to feel like Twitter was really useful, too. -- nm - mara xmas, ya filthy animals Dec 17, 06:01 1
        
        Same for me with taking a while before I was able to get Twitter to be useful for my interests. - Krusty Dec 17, 06:23
