Mastodon instance focusing on hiking, mountaineering, climbing, backpacking and the outdoors.

Social networking, back in your hands

Sharing your thoughts has never been more convenient. Publish anything you want: links, pictures, text, video. All on a platform that is community-owned and ad-free.

You have 1000 characters. You can adjust the thumbnails of your pictures with focal points. You can use custom emojis, hide things behind spoiler warnings and choose who sees a given post. Messed it up? You can delete & redraft for quick corrections.

Without an incentive to sell you things, Mastodon allows you to consume content you enjoy uninterrupted. Your feed is chronological, ad-free and non-algorithmic—you decide who you want to see!

Be sure to check our Terms & Code of Conduct.
