   Does anyone have any advice here on how to make your Mastodon less eurocentric? I do regular searches, follow people from outside Europe/US whenever I come across them, etc, but it’s quite slow, hard work. I was wondering whether there is a more strategic way - ie is there a list of instances that are not Europe/US based, and from which I could follow one person each or something? Not interested in changing my own instance, just to get more global connections. #Eurocentrism

     What I do is:
     - follow people or newspapers in other countries/continents, a bit random at the beginning
     - make sure I get a notification for their publications. Otherwise you have to be awake in the middle of the night to see what's happening there.
     - read their publications and the interactions they create, to choose more people to follow.

     Not perfect, but at least for the Americas I have some connections. Much harder for Asia, though.
