I noticed Bonfire is getting a lot of positive attention lately, and I wanted to try it out. They don't have a directory of instances yet. Do you have any instances that you recommend.

Not really anything serious.

By poking around https://bonfire.fediverse.observer/list I found two (and only two) with open sign ups that do not say "demo and testing instance":

Try:

https://bonfire.home.coop/

It's kinda amazing to me how they convinced so many people to give them money when that is all they have. I guess people want to have hope.

Thank you for sharing the links! I just signed to one of them.

I am also surprised how much money they were able to raise. I hope they deliver on the things they promised
