Last November, Seattle Bike Blog posted about a "mostly Seattle-based transit-loving" Mastodon server (social.ridetrans.it), and it sounded great to me (and still is!). But coming to Lemmy around the Reddit blackout (I was a RIF user for probably 10+ years) was what really got me interested in the fediverse as a whole.
