I now have upwards of 10 kg of flour in my apartment (just wheat flour, not counting anything else). Last weekend I scored what looked like the last 5 lb bag of King Arthur's White Whole Wheat from Smart & Final and figured they were discontinuing it since it was marked down. Today Grocery Outlet had little (2 lb) bags of "golden wheat" for a good price so I got 3.
Would be nice if the weather was conducive to baking however...

@npub147j…tt64 In that case mastodon.art is probably bigger than you'd like, but the others are probably reasonable (I'm mostly guessing based on size, since a lot of instances don't make the local timeline public).
wandering.shop might also be a good fit, but I think they are a closed instance so you need to know someone on there well enough to ask for an invite
Oh! I follow someone on gamepad.club and it's both pretty small and maybe what you want

@npub147j…tt64 Do you want someplace small where people talk on the local timeline a lot? Or larger where the local timeline moves so fast you can't keep up? Any specification for posting character limits? How "on topic" do you want the instance to be?
You might enjoy zirk.us (history/humanities focused), mastodon.art, mstdn.games, retro.pizza
(I feel like I accidentally follow so many fiber arts people they must have their own instance, but I think they just exist everywhere)

@npub1mdk…aptk I don't search all that much so I haven't run into this problem, would you mind explaining it? Are they jumping to the top of results because the same word occurs a lot?
*I'm just idly curious, no worries if you don't have time to explain.

@npub189n…satx Wha!?!?! (I'm blinking in disbelief at their decision)
