This search engine for Mastodon instances is based on a database that gets updated by our crawler every night (CET).
Instances are considered new for 30 days after they are discovered.
When an instance has not responded to our daily checks for more than 30 days it is no longer considered in statistics and searches and it gets checked only on the first of the month, rather than daily, until it possibly responds again, or until its last succesful check is one year old; in this latter case, from that moment it gets checked only on the first day of each year.
“Random ordering” of results varies daily.
Default search criteria reflect our fondness for a decentralized and egalitarian Fediverse and our attempt to exclude instances accepting fascist, racist, sexist, ableist, sovereignist, pro-nuclear and pedopornographic contents by marking them as noxious.
To report any issue, technical or non-technical, or to suggest instances to exclude according to the above criteria, please contact us at our e-mail address, masthelp[at]insicuri.net.

Subversive.zone ist eine linke, antiautoritäre Mastodoninstanz.
Long description
Willkommen bei subversive.zone!SelbstverständnisSubversive.Zone hat das Ziel, eine überwiegend deutschsprachige Mastodoninstanz für Menschen mit emanzipatorischem Anspruch zu sein. Wir möchten nicht „die eine Instanz“ sein, sondern sehen uns als Teil eines losen Netzwerks mit anderen emanzipatorischen und antiautoritäten Instanzen.
Emanzipatorische Werte wollen wir bereits jetzt aktiv leben, anstatt darauf zu warten, dass sie sich mit „der Revolution oder dem Ende des Kapitalismus“ schon von selbst einstellen und sie bis dahin unterzuordnen.
Wir legen einen Fokus auf Zugänglichkeit und nutzen die Werkzeuge, die Mastodon hierfür bereitstellt, wie Bildbeschreibungen und Inhaltswarnungen.
Weiterhin dulden wir keine Transfeindlichkeit und Sexarbeiter:innenfeindlichkeit sowie kein Eintreten für Autoritarismus, Nationalismus oder Antisemitismus.
RegelnWir möchten eine Community im Sinne unseres Selbstverständnisses sein. Explizit bedeutet das, dass folgendes auf dieser Instanz nicht toleriert wird:
- Belästigung und Stalking
- Rassismus, Sexismus, Nationalismus, Ableismus, Transfeindlichkeit
- Explizit Tankies (ML/M), Querfrontler:innen, TERFs, SWERFs
- Menschen kontaktieren, die ausdrücklich keinen Kontakt wünschen
- Bots, die ohne ihre expliziten Anfragen mit Nutzer*Innen interagieren
- Nationalflaggen in Profilbeschreibungen
- In Deutschland strafrechtlich relevante Inhalte
Um die Instanz für möglichst viele Menschen zugänglich zu halten, verwendet bitte, sofern es euch möglich ist, Bildbeschreibungen und Inhaltswarnungen, beispielsweise für sexuelle Inhalte oder Darstellung von Gewalt.
Bitte meldet Verhalten, das stört. Das kann auch andere Instanzen betreffen, die wir ggf. stummschalten oder blockieren können.

Short description
Chitter is a social network fostering a friendly, inclusive, and incredibly soft community.
Long description
Your staffChitter is run by:
- Violet, owner, design, moderation
- codl, tech, moderation
- bug, moderation
Etiquette pointersMany on the fediverse are trying to make social media kinder, more personal, and more accessible. Here are some things you can do to help.
Use content warnings liberally.
Commonly tagged subjects include:
- Common phobias, and triggers (spiders, blood, gross stuff, trauma, etc)
- Politics (often: “pol”)
- Hot takes (opinions delivered on the spot with little thought, often worded in a provocative and generalising manner)
- Selfies
- Public displays of affection, affectionate subtoots (often: “pda”)
- Food
- Money
- Family
- Health
- Mental health in particular (often: “mh”)
- Negativity
- Negativity about oneself in particular (often: “self neg”)
Additionally, when a lot of people are talking about one subject, it’s polite to tag that subject, using the CW as a subject field of sorts. It is also polite to tag long posts and threads similarly.
Content warnings are invaluable in letting people decide if and when to deal with subjects that may be harmful or exhausting to them.
It is helpful to augment a CW, indicating if it is positive (+), negative (-), a joke, a shitpost, etc. More context is always better.
Strive for accessibility
You can add a caption to images or videos you upload. This helps people with sight impairments get the context of your post. Writing a good, concise caption is an art but any caption is better than none!
Another practice that helps is spelling hashtags composed of several words #LikeThis with capital letters, as opposed to #likethis. This helps screen-reader software read them correctly.
It’s also polite to CW posts that won’t make any sense to screen-readers at all, like ASCII art or posts spelling out things in 💶Ⓜ️🅾️🌶️❗
Avoid using a crossposter.
These programs or services broadcast your posts from one network to another and back, usually between Twitter and a fediverse server like Chitter. They are controversial across the fediverse. A common criticism is that it feels like the person is “not really there,” reacting to things happening on another network entirely, and broadcasting Twitter culture, which many have come to the fediverse to avoid.
If you want to use one despite this, it is polite to set it not to post remote posts as public, and even to set a CW on them indicating where the posts originated.
It is up to each one of us whether we want to follow these guidelines, but administrative action may be taken against members behaving counter to them to the point of disturbing others, and continuing to do so after being asked to change their behaviour.
Supporting ChitterChitter has a
Patreon and a
Liberapay team. Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated and will go towards keeping the servers running.
Third parties / Data locationChitter and all of its data are hosted with Hetzner in Falkenstein, Germany.
Database backups are also stored at codl's home, in France.
DNS for the chitter.xyz domain is hosted with Route 53 from Amazon Web Services.
Chitter's status site at
status.chitter.xyz is hosted with Netlify. Your browser will also contact updown.io for live status data, and S3 from Amazon Web Services for admin notices.
Keep in mind also that, depending on your post privacy settings and on who follows you, your posts and interactions may be shared with many third party instances hosted all over the world.

- In particular, no hate speech or bigotry, including dogwhistles (implicit but deliberate discrimination through coded language).
- No posting others' personal information or private exchanges without permission.
- Do not continue to engage a person, or incite others to do so, after they have requested otherwise.
- No content that is illegal in the United Kingdom, Germany, or France. This includes "grey area" content such as sexualized, artistic depictions of minors.
- Sexual or sexually suggestive content must be tagged as such, with a clear content warning. Avatars and profile banners must be clean.
- Same goes for artistic depictions of graphic violence or gore. Real pictures and recordings of gore and violence are generally not acceptable, you better have a really good reason. Shock value is not a good reason.
- Bots are OK as long as they don't post to the public TL more than twice a day and don't interact with folks out of the blue. That means no followbots.
- When in doubt about something you'd like to post, ask a mod. When in doubt about something you saw posted, report liberally.
- We may take administrative action for reasons not listed here.

Long description
Welcome to Maker Social!
What We Are
Maker Social is a social networking space for makers, by makers.
Who we are
Maker Social is an independent, non-profit effort initiated by Steve Scotten and Blaise Hartley, two members of the Tech Valley Center of Gravity, an amazing makerspace, co-working space, prototyping center, and incubator in Troy NY. It is our hope that once it takes off, Maker Social will be officially adopted by the TVCOG as a permanent contribution to and haven for the maker movement in general, and the Tech Valley maker community in particular.
Philosophy
Maker Social is intended to be an inclusive, friendly home for makers, artists, tinkerers, and creators of all kinds to venture out into the burgeoning corporation-free social media space.
We aren't here to promote politics or ideology, we are here to build a community to encourage and assist every kind of creator in freely sharing their work and thoughts with other creators.
Problem Reporting
Please use the built-in reporting tools to let us know about any posts you believe violate the rules. For anything else, please forward any problems, questions, or concerns directly to the administrator contact.
Instance rules
- Be excellent to each other
- No hateful or aggressive speech, harassment, or spamming.
- No content illegal in the United States of America
