typo.social

typo.social is a Mastodon instance open to all who are interested in: Typography, type design, calligraphy, design, linguistics, history …. It is run by an international association from the typography community, currently Typographische Gesellschaft München (tgm), TypeMedia.org (The Hague), letterspace.amsterdam, and Tiro Typeworks.

In contrast to Twitter, where essentially everything happens centrally on a server, on Mastodon you join a specific instance. Thus, you can access multiple timelines on Mastodon—including the local instance’s timeline and the personal one (where you can see the posts of people you follow, across instances, of course). In the local instance timeline, you can see chronologically all the local posts. A “Typo instance” is therefore useful for people who are interested in the topics mentioned above.
