  • It basically works like that on Mastodon, but on Lemmy, etc. you will see most of the content of all federated instances.

    It’s common for new users to overthink the choice of instance - it doesn’t make a huge difference for most users and you can always switch if you find a better fit in the future.

    You can pick one that is local to your country/region, or if you have a special interest like art or environmental activism, you may be able to find one that specializes in that. Otherwise choose any instance that is stable.





  • You obviously understand the concept, given your very specific constraints. OP noted that the particular photo they took would need to be cropped or edited to protect their location.

    This photo shows like 1% of a building, no cars, road, structures, or horizon.

    Applying the rule “no outdoor photos of your location” covers all of these possibilities, making it a pretty good rule of thumb. Even if you are cautious, you could accidentally post some rare tree or background detail that gives up your location.

    So we shouldn’t shame anyone for not posting photos they consider unsafe.
