About This Search Engine
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 (if you already have an account on the Fediverse and want to receive one daily post with a summary of the new Mastodon instances that our crawler discovers daily, you can follow @nmiab@kolektiva.social; alternatively, you can also view them here).
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, of any kind, involving mastodon.help, or to suggest instances to exclude according to the above criteria, please contact us at our e-mail address, arbuk+masthelp[at]disroot.org.
Important Notes for Instance Administrators
If you don’t want your instance to show up here, please e-mail us at arbuk+masthelp[at]disroot.org.
If your instance is behind a web firewall such as Anubis or Cloudflare, and you want it to be listed here, you must configure the firewall to allow our bot, which makes no more than a dozen HTTP requests per day, to connect to your instance, by whitelisting it by User-Agent and/or IP address. Our bot’s User-Agent is mastodon.help; the IP address from which it makes requests is the same as this site’s, 65.108.133.80.

Instance rules
- Diese Mastodon-Instanz wird als privates Hobby ohne Garantie für Verfügbarkeit betrieben. Es besteht kein Anspruch auf jederzeit funktionierenden Zugang zum Konto. Downtimes (Updates, Wartung, Migration etc) werden - soweit möglich - vorher angekündigt.
- Es ist grundsätzlich jedermensch willkommen, egal welcher politischen, religiösen oder sexuellen Ausrichtung und geschlechtlicher Identität. Bei beleidigendem, diskriminierendem oder schlicht nervtötendem Verhalten werden die Admins (auch ohne Ankündigung) Accounts sanktionieren oder deaktivieren.
- Wer meint, Transfrauen seien keine Frauen, wer denkt, man könne als Mann heute ja gar keine Komplimente mehr machen oder wer glaubt, es gäbe "Rassismus gegen Weiße", ist auf dieser Instanz falsch. Diese Instanz ist gedacht als Safe Space. Von diesem Ideal lassen sich die Admins leiten.
- Veröffentlichen Sie nichts, was gegen BRD-Gesetze oder interstellares Recht verstoßen würde.
- Nehmen Sie Rücksicht und nutzen Sie die Möglichkeit, heikle Inhalte, Themen oder Bilder mit einer entsprechenden Inhaltswarnung zu kennzeichnen, so dass die Personen, die Ihnen folgen, entscheiden können, ob sie diese sehen wollen.
- Hunde — keine Katzen!
- Es wird erwartet, dass alle Nutzenden in der Lage sind, sich selbst zur Wehr zu setzen und Querelen unter einander zu klären. Die Meinungsfreiheit erlaubt zwar auch hitzigen Debatten, die Admins lassen sich aber nicht von "false balance" leiten.
- Werden diese Regeln missachtet, Grenzen überschritten oder bei Zuwiderhandlung, gilt Ziffer 2.

It seems like this instance’s server thumbnail’s URL points to a non existent file. This is usually easily fixable by the instance’s admin(s) by uploading again the image to their server. Note that the change won’t be displayed here before the nightly automatic update of this instance’s infos occurs.

- Do the best you can in communication, try your best to keep a positive attitude, and try to not drag others down if/when you're having a bad day.
- No content condoning or advocating for the oppression of members of marginalised groups, or general discrimination of groups based on characteristics like gender, race, disabilities, nationality, education, religion etc.
- No harassment, stalking, mobbing, deadnaming, misgendering, contacting users who have made it clear they do not wish to be contacted.

DNS-OARC as part of our public benefit mission to support the DNS community.
Instance rules
- Posts on MastoDNS must comply with the DNS-OARC Code of Conduct, which is available here: https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc/policies/conduct
- When participating, treat others with tolerance, respect and courtesy, regardless of who they are and who you are.
- Do not use language which is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, uses slurs, or is otherwise discriminatory.
- Do not use personal attacks in discussion with others. Vigorous debate is welcome, but ad hominem does nothing to advance an open exchange of ideas.
- Content which is illegal or endangers the safety of others is prohibited.
- Do not harass anyone, or participate in group harassment of anyone. Posting—or threatening to post—other people's personally identifying information ("doxing") constitutes harassment.
- Do not post adult content, or sexually explicit material (including pictures containing nudity). This includes sexualized comments or jokes. Posts including unwelcome sexual attention constitute harassment.
- Do not post about controversial or sensitive subjects without a Content Warning.
- Do not police your fellow users. You may feel a user has violated our standards or rules, but you should block them or report them for admins to handle. Starting an argument among users only serves to add noise to the signal.
- Do not debate moderation actions in public posts. If you disagree with how a moderator enforced these rules, you may direct-message the moderation team or email mastodon@dns-oarc.net.

Reporting and moderation When reporting accounts, please make sure to include at least a few posts that show rule-breaking behavior, when applicable, or what content is offensive. If there is any additional context that might help make a decision, please also include it in the comment.
I usually handle reports within 24 hours, but this may vary depending on how busy I am. Please remember that you are not notified when a report you have made has led to a punitive action, and that not all punitive actions are externally visible.
