Short description
We are CatCatNya~, a left-wing instance founded by cats, for cats (and more!)
Long description
A general failure to follow the guidelines ("Server rules") section on the about page will, depending on the severity, lead to the removal of your posts or your account.

Welcome to CatCatNya~! We are an instance hoping to foster a diverse queer community's presence in the Fediverse, which includes, but is absolutely not limited to:

  • cats
  • queerness
  • plurality
  • disability
  • anti-racism

We are mainly speaking English and German, but other languages are also welcome.

Basically, the only things we exclude is fascists and tankies. We do not like those. Authoritarianism is garbage because it is detrimental to what's mentioned above. Yes, even cats. Have you ever seen a cat like authority?

Unfortunately, some authority is required to do moderation and even to host an instance to begin with.

We are meowderated by:

  • @cache - Owner, Admin and Moderator
  • @sk - Nyadmin and Meowderator

Honorable mention: - @kescher - Founder and hoster

We have additional subdomains for multi-account access in separate browser tabs:


We offer SSO integration with some services: - git.kescher.at, a Forgejo instance - git.gay, another Forgejo instance

Federation policy

CatCatNya~ will generally freely federate, however, meowderation is strict. Defederation will occur if harassment occurs, fash/tankies are on the overwhelming majority on an instance, an instance being "free speech", or if an instance is otherwise deemed an immediate danger to users on CatCatNya~. If an instance does not pose an active threat to its users, but is deemed unmeowderated, it will likely result in a limit. Actions done by remote nyadmins/meowderators are weighed more heavily than individual users.

If your instance uses the UFoI, it will likely be suspended, since the very nature of the UFoI is a malicious pact founded by the admin of qoto.org to stop folks from defederating from them.

If your instance welcomes cops, it will at the very least be limited, but we may suspend.

While our set of guidelines already states that anything illegal in Austria will be blocked, we feel it is neccessary to highlight that we suspend any instances promoting child sex abuse ("MAPs" and other euphemisms for pedophilia) and zoophilia once we notice them.

If your instance runs a really old version of a Fedi software and it causes processing issues at our end, your instance may be suspended simply because you don't keep your software up-to-date at all. You shouldn't be running Mastodon 2.5.2 anymore. No, 2.7.0 is also not going to cut it.

Other info

We are running our own fork of glitch-soc, which is also a fork of Mastodon. For more info about glitch-soc, see the glitch-soc webpage. For more info about our own fork see this git repository.

In response to the poor performance of big instances like mastodon.social and mastodon.online, we are implementing the following simple policy: Once we reach around 200 monthly active users, we will disable registrations. We are strongly opposed to the existence of big instances of software for a decentralized protocol.

This instance is hosted on the same machine as an Arch mirror. Therefore, the network performance on this instance may vary. This should not be a real issue, considering these server specs:

  • 14 dedicated cores of an AMD EPYC™ 7702 CPU
  • 64 GiB of DDR4 ECC RAM
  • Storage:

    • 2 TiB of NVMe storage
    • Continually scaled, remote, encrypted media storage, partially cached on NVMe above

  • Hosted in Vienna, Austria
  • Network bandwidth of 2.5 Gbps, symmetric
  • Running on Arch Linux Logo, btw
  • Hourly encrypted backups to a large backup host
