Aside from Mastodon.Social are there any other decent instances? I'm considering joining one; I liked Twitter before Elon bought it and miss it.

Of course Im staying on Lemmy as well. :)

There's a ton of established instances that have been around for awhile

See: https://joinmastodon.org/

mastodon.world is also maintained by Ruud, same Admin as lemmy.world

I'm waiting on my blue sky invite

To be honest I'm not seeing the appeal of a centralized Twitter clone.

Same, it could easily go the enshitification route once they gather enough momentum to become the dominant micro-blogging site.

I don't think it's centralized.It is federated, similar to mastodon.

It uses the AT protocol (proprietary to Bluesky) vs the ActivityPub like Mastodon/Lemmy/the Fediverse. Not sure it will be compatible.

I didn't know this.Thanks!

not yet, it’s just one invite-only server currently

I tried it. It was awful.
