My old folks want to break free from #facebook, and i'm helping them get started on the #fediverse. Yay!
Till now I've made them accounts on #mobilizon for groups and events, #loops for short-form video, and #peertube for long-form video.
Now they're getting a #mastodon account to tie it all together, and make conversation.

Question is; on which mastodon instance should they sign up, and who should they follow?
Their main interests are icelandic horses, sheep, sheep dogs / herding dogs and general small-scale animal husbandry. They live in arctic Norway, and their english language is decent.

I've found no starterpacks of accounts about farming, rural life, sheep husbandry, horse riding or dog training. (https://fedidevs.com/starter-packs/)

Could y'all help them get a great start to federated living by giving some recommendations? neocat_cute

@papiris I'd have them follow hashtags instead of people I think.

As for which instance, I think @FediGarden featured a farming instance recently if memory serves me right. Maybe have a look here: fedi.garden/fediverse-servers-…
