What server should I join?
I’m thinking about joining mastodon, but I don’t know what server to go with, and the list of servers seems to have very little information about each. Right now I think I’ll open an account on mastodon.social....

I came across this blogpost regarding Mastodon. I would love to get you guys thoughts. This is from earlier in the year, the authors thoughts may have changed but not likely. Some points make sense others not so much. https://artifact.news/posts/p/4808379356679562208?s=6007865051323234948

I totally agree with him. This will bring more people to the fediverse once they realize they can interact with their friends on Threads
Threads testing mastodon integration (www.threads.net)
Threads is oficially starting to test ActivityPub integration (www.threads.net)
Mark Zuckerberg: Starting a test where posts from Threads accounts will be available on Mastodon and other services that use the ActivityPub protocol. Making Threads interoperable will give people more choice over how they interact and it will help content reach more people. I'm pretty optimistic about this.

is there some API or other mechanism that allows me to create a contact form on my site and have the messages delivered to my mastodon inbox?
