I'm looking to move to a new Mastodon instance, away from Mastodon.social. I don't have any problems with .social, but I kinda want to keep things decentralized in the Fediverse, and I want to start fresh with a new account regardless.

So, what small-to-medium size Mastodon instances do you recommend? I'm looking for something fairly general-purpose, but also keeps up to date on the latest software fairly quickly (if possible).

https://hear-me.social/ is one possibility. It has the added benefit of a 12,000-character posting size as well, especially nice if the 500-character limit at .social was frustrating.

not a user of mastodon, but how do these long posts federate over?

Just like any other post. Character limit is an abstraction introduced by Mastodon, it has nothing to do with ActivityPub.
