Instances
We currently count 10,300 Mastodon instances, with 18,240,744 users (1,422,151 active during last month) and 1,632,883,994 published statuses.
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, masthelp[at]insicuri.net.
Important Notes for Instance Administrators
If you don’t want your instance to show up here, please e-mail us at masthelp[at]insicuri.net.
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.
Threads moderation statistics
These statistics on the status of Threads moderation are based on the list of moderated instances, which is accessible only on some instances, and on the list of instances adhering to the Anti-Meta Fedi Pact.

Short description
archaeo.social is a Mastodon instance for archaeologists, ancient historians and anyone interested in scholarly communication about the human past. More: https://about.archaeo.social
Long description
archaeo.social is a Mastodon instance for archaeologists, ancient historians and anyone interested in scholarly communication about the human past. It is part of the archaeo.social collective, a network of open, federated social media services for archaeology.
This server is administrated by Joe Roe and financially supported by donations on OpenCollective. Our policies, rules and community expectations are decided by consensus; discussion takes place in our GitHub repositories and are open to all.
Joining archaeo.social
Creating an account on archaeo.social means that it will be your "home server" in the Mastodon network. Your posts will by default appear in our local timeline and you will need to agree to abide by our rules and community expectations. It doesn't mean that you are limited to interacting here; you can follow users from other Mastodon servers and the wider Fediverse freely, and your personal timeline will include only the accounts and hashtags you follow, wherever they are.
After you have created an account, uploaded a profile picture, and filled in your bio, we strongly recommend introducing yourself to the archaeo.social community with a post that tells us about yourself and your interests. Including the hashtag #introduction will greatly increases how many potential new followers your post reaches.
archaeo.social is still a young community and the Fediverse in general is not as widely used in academia as other social networks. We appreciate anything you can do to spread awareness, for example by including links to your Mastodon profile (i.e. https://archaeo.social/@username; the short form username@archaeo.social only works in the Fediverse) on your other social media profiles, on your institutional profile, in your next conference presentation, etc.
Community expectations
These guidelines supplement the server's rules.
Zero tolerance
archaeo.social has zero tolerance for racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, ableism, and casteism. Users that engage in these behaviours will have their accounts immediately and permanently suspended.
Acceptable and unacceptable content
archaeo.social is primarily intended for scholarly communication about archaeology and the human past. We encourage you to use it to talk about your research, promote academic events and programmes, share references and resources, and network with colleagues. We are an international community, and posts can be in any language. Satire, activism, and a reasonable amount of "off-topic" posting are also welcome. Users who use our services excessively for other purposes may have their accounts frozen and will be asked to migrate their accounts to a more suitable server.
Content that others may not wish to see should be accompanied with a content warning and/or marked as sensitive. This includes, but is not limited to:
Users who repeatedly omit these warnings may have their posts marked as sensitive automatically, have their accounts frozen, or be suspended.
The following types of content are not allowed on this server:
Users that post these types of content will be immediately suspended.
Academic integrity
Behaviour that is broadly considered unacceptable in academia is also unacceptable on archaeo.social. This includes, but is not limited to, academic dishonesty (plagiarism, cheating, not giving credit), misrepresentation (of your credentials, experience, background), spreading misinformation or pseudoscience, and soliciting for predatory publishers or conferences. Users that engage in or promote these behaviours may have their accounts frozen or suspended.
Etiquette and accessibility
When posting, please be considerate of how your posts will appear both to your followers and in the local and federated timelines. Consider using a content warning or making the post unlisted if it is significantly 'off-topic' (i.e. likely not of interest to most other users of archaeo.social) When writing a thread, set the first post to be "public" and subsequent posts "unlisted", so that they do not flood the timeline.
To make posts accessible to all users, attached media should be accompanied with a description. A good media description concisely summarises the content and purpose of the image or video. It shouldn't be longer than a sentence or two. An exception is if you post an image of running text; you should transcribe the text in full in the image description.
Bots and organisation accounts
archaeo.social was made for people and prioritises the experience of human users.
Bots are currently not restricted on archaeo.social, but we ask operators of bots to be considerate of other users, server resources, and the readability of our local timeline. Specifically, bot accounts should:
Accounts that represent commercial, institutional, or collective entities are also allowed, but must be relevant to the server's scope.
Reporting and moderation
archaeo.social's moderation team actively monitor the local timeline. Unlisted posts are not proactively reviewed but are subject to the same rules and expectations.
If you see a user of archaeo.social breaking any of our rules or failing to meet any of the above expectations, please report the problematic content to moderators. Please explain why you are reporting them in as much detail as you can; we aim to respond within 24 hours.
You can also report posts you see from users of federated servers on archaeo.social, but please be aware the we are more limited in the ways we can respond to them. Mastodon has extensive options for controlling what you see from users on your home and federated servers.
Privacy, data security and longevity
Mastodon was not designed to be a secure storage or messaging protocol. Everything you post to this server, including direct messages to other users, is stored unencrypted and therefore technically readable by anyone with access to the database. We will never knowingly breach your privacy or leave your personal data vulnerable to misuse, but can make no guarantees. Please see the privacy policy for more details.
We envisage archaeo.social as a long-term resource for the scholarly community in archaeology and related disciplines. All posts and uploaded media are backed up, at least daily, to multiple secure locations. However, archaeo.social is not an archive and you should not assume that your data will be preserved in perpetuity. In the event that circumstances force the server to shut down, we commit to giving users at least three months notice so that they can export their data and migrate their account to another server.

Short description
Mastodon Server for the LGBT+ Bear Community. Be Nice. Be over 18 years old. Fill out "Why do you want to join?" so we know you're here for the right reasons.
Long description
Basic rules:
- Be nice.
- Adult posts are fine. But if you’re going to do them, check the CW icon that says “Add Content Warning” and briefly describe (in a non-explicit language) the contents of your post (e.g. "NSFW contains nudity" or "NSFW contains adult language"), so those that do not wish to view it aren’t forced to.
- No hate speech. No one wants to hear your homophobic, transphobic, antisemitic bullshit. And we certainly don't wanna hear it here.
- No copyrighted or lifted photos. A basic rule of thumb, if it's not your photo don't post it here. "Boost" someone's post, don't just steal it.
- No pictures or videos of abuse or cruelty to humans and animals. There's enough of that horrible shit on the internet. I don't want it here.
Instance rules
- Be nice
- This is a great place to post info and pics about you! Adult content is allowed here, buy ONLY WITH A CONTENT WARNING and MARKED AS SENSITIVE. This includes artwork and text that is of adult nature.
- This is a terrible place to dump all the random porn you've found around the internet. Please find a different Mastodon server that can afford to host it all for you. Or better yet, stay on Twitter.
- No hate speech
- No gore/abuse/cruelty
- No spam, advertising, or copyrighted work
- Avatar and Profile header should not have nudity or contain offense image or language.
- By signing up you are certifying that you are over 18 years of age. If you are under 18 years old, please find a different server.
- If any pictures or drawings posted looks even slightly underage we will ban and report your account details to the authorities without hesitation. When in doubt, don't even THINK about posting or boosting it here.

- При розхоженю думок справуйте ся почливо і з отвореным сердцьом. Кідь мусай, ступайте до діскусії не як до дебаты або свады, ай можности повчити ся.
- Будьте порядны: не діліть ся ничим незаконным, скарідным або негідным. Тото ся докывать контента сексуалного, насилного або нелеґалного филю. Кідь ваш пост не мож позерати на людях, не треба ся ним ту ділити.
- Не діліть ся рекламов, промоціями, спамом, анкетами ітд. без дозволу модераторів. Кідь ваш продукт або контент ся не односить до русинського уміня, музикы, моды або културы, ту не слобідно глядати собі клієнтів або авдіторію.

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.

Short description
A way to access the Fediverse for attendees of Penguicon, an annual convention of <em>science fiction</em>, <em>open source software</em>, and all geeky interests, in Michigan, USA.
Long description
Penguicon.social Code Of Conduct - Last Updated: March 21st, 2024
This User Agreement governs users' access to and use of Penguicon.social.
To use this site, you must be 16 or older and attended Penguicon in person.
Privacy policy.
Penguicon's in-person Code Of Conduct applies to the convention weekend, and so it discusses things like alcohol and swimming pools. Year-round, the internet enables stalking, persecution campaigns, and privacy violations at a scale not achievable in three days in a convention hotel. Therefore, this page addresses a different set of concerns.
Content Warning Etiquette
Use the button marked CW ("Content Warning") to hide discussions of an explicit and graphic nature, so that a reader must click if they wish to see it.
Use the Eye button when posting images more sexually explicit than PG13.
Keep your avatars and header images PG13.
Use the following content warnings on content or links containing evocative or graphic depictions. They are not required on factual, clinical, and dry, or brief mentions. CW: Suicide, CW: Rape, CW: Sexual Assault, CW: Pedophilia.
Mods might delete posts that skirt a grey area.
Unsolicited Sexual Advances, Ads, And Other Spam
Do not use Penguicon.social to directly approach prospects as a marketing tool to send unsolicited sales pitches to users you barely know. This includes, for example:
If the recipient deems your message welcome, we will not act against it. That determination is up to them at the time of receipt. This places the risk on you as the sender, not on them.
If companies use Penguicon.social, they are asked to mostly use it to participate in discussions taking place on social media. Acceptable uses include opinions and education about their trade, and engagement with their company's users who request support. Such uses should be presented as a specific individual representing the company. But if they post little more than promotional links to their own company's website, that is prohibited.
Pronoun Etiquette
Avoid using pronouns or names for a person that that person has asked not to be used.
Prohibited Uses
The following are prohibited even if placed on mute or hidden behind a content warning.
Penguicon.social places a domain block on dozens of other servers in the Fediverse that would otherwise bring this onto our server.
1. Sexualized depictions of people who appear to be minors, real or imaginary.
2. Intimidation of groups needing special protections.
We do not provide a platform for intimidation behaviors to drive marginalized, vulnerable groups out of an online space.
"Asshole" is not a protected category.
3. Conspiracy theories and disinformation.
We do not provide a platform to promote the following:
Harassment
Harassment is a subcategory of misconduct, defined as a pattern of unwelcome interactions targeting a specific person over time.
Penguicon’s Board tracks reports of misconduct over multiple years and considers patterns of misconduct for multi-year disciplinary action, regardless of whether incidents occurred at Penguicon. We need your help to identify whether the incidents you are experiencing on Penguicon.social are part of a pattern you do not know about.
Harassment applies to electronic communication as well as physical. Participants must not engage in misconduct at convention venues or convention-related social events, not just the Penguicon weekend.
Do not persistently pursue someone who no longer wishes to interact with you. Suppose Mods are made aware that you are doing this outside of Penguicon.social, Mods will make your personal life our business by taking appropriate actions on your Penguicon.social account.
We can tell when someone is abusing the misconduct reporting system as a tool of harassment. Software developers on the Mod team are prepared to respond to attempts to flood our complaints system with frivolous reports on every post made by a victim of a harassment campaign.
Moderator Actions
The Mod responses to known violations of this CoC will depend on the severity and the context of whether the offender is skirting a grey area with a frequency that increases the workload of the mods.
Mods reserve the right to escalate the response as quickly as necessary, even to Suspend for a first offense based on their judgment.
Mods must take aside individuals privately when asking them for changes to their behavior. If Mods publicly embroil an audience of bystanders who can do nothing to resolve a conflict that needs to be handled by a Mod, they will be removed from Mod duty.
Mods may not publicly vent about being a Mod. They will be immediately put on a time-out from Mod duty if they post to express exhaustion or dissatisfaction with the role. We all have different amounts of energy at different times. Mods are expected to be prepared to need to calm the flame wars. That requires a minimum of mental and emotional health to avoid fanning the flames. Those who are low on energy must spend some time in a different role than Mod so they can receive energy instead of spending it.
You may appeal the decisions of the mods by emailing communications@penguicon.org.

Privacy policy.
Penguicon's in-person Code Of Conduct applies to the convention weekend, and so it discusses things like alcohol and swimming pools. Year-round, the internet enables stalking, persecution campaigns, and privacy violations at a scale not achievable in three days in a convention hotel. Therefore, this page addresses a different set of concerns.
- Content Warning Etiquette
- Unsolicited Sexual Advances, Ads, And Other Spam
- Pronoun Etiquette
- Prohibited Uses
1. Sexualized depictions of people who appear to be minors, real or imaginary
2. Intimidation of groups needing special protections
3. Conspiracy theories and disinformation - Harassment
- Moderator Actions
Content Warning Etiquette
Use the button marked CW ("Content Warning") to hide discussions of an explicit and graphic nature, so that a reader must click if they wish to see it.
Use the Eye button when posting images more sexually explicit than PG13.
Keep your avatars and header images PG13.
Use the following content warnings on content or links containing evocative or graphic depictions. They are not required on factual, clinical, and dry, or brief mentions. CW: Suicide, CW: Rape, CW: Sexual Assault, CW: Pedophilia.
Mods might delete posts that skirt a grey area.
Unsolicited Sexual Advances, Ads, And Other Spam
Do not use Penguicon.social to directly approach prospects as a marketing tool to send unsolicited sales pitches to users you barely know. This includes, for example:
- unsolicited sexual advances
- selling your company's products
- unsolicited sexual advances
- religious proselytization
- UNSOLICITED SEXUAL ADVANCES
- other spam
If the recipient deems your message welcome, we will not act against it. That determination is up to them at the time of receipt. This places the risk on you as the sender, not on them.
If companies use Penguicon.social, they are asked to mostly use it to participate in discussions taking place on social media. Acceptable uses include opinions and education about their trade, and engagement with their company's users who request support. Such uses should be presented as a specific individual representing the company. But if they post little more than promotional links to their own company's website, that is prohibited.
Pronoun Etiquette
Avoid using pronouns or names for a person that that person has asked not to be used.
Prohibited Uses
The following are prohibited even if placed on mute or hidden behind a content warning.
Penguicon.social places a domain block on dozens of other servers in the Fediverse that would otherwise bring this onto our server.
1. Sexualized depictions of people who appear to be minors, real or imaginary.
2. Intimidation of groups needing special protections.
We do not provide a platform for intimidation behaviors to drive marginalized, vulnerable groups out of an online space.
- Race
- Sexual orientation
- Gender or gender presentation
- Disability
- National origin
- Physical appearance
- Religious tradition of origin
"Asshole" is not a protected category.
3. Conspiracy theories and disinformation.
We do not provide a platform to promote the following:
- Religious justifications for marginalizing vulnerable minorities
- Holocaust Denial
- "Cultural Marxism"
- "The Great Replacement"
- Denial that humans are causing climate change
- Opposition to vaccination
- Flat earth

Mods reserve the right to escalate the response as quickly as necessary, even to Suspend for a first offense based on their judgment.
- Education.
- Deleting one or more posts.
- Setting the person's account(s) to Silenced mode (invisible to all but those who are following the Silenced person). Mods will inform the Silenced person of the duration to be spent Silenced.
- Setting the offending person's account(s) to Suspended (deleted and unable to create another account).
- Banning or blocking emails, entire email domains of known spammers, or entire Mastodon domains to prevent a person from interacting with our users.

A server for the area around Bellingham, Washington, the "City of Subdued Excitement". Run by @alan@subdued.social. Supported by donations at https://ko-fi.com/subduedsocial
Long description
Welcome to subdued.social, the regional Mastodon instance for the area around Bellingham, Washington, the "City of Subdued Excitement". Bellingham is located on the territory of the Lhaq’temish (Lummi) and Nuxwsa’7aq (Nooksack) people.
Inspired by local servers like social.seattle.wa.us, pdx.social, pnw.zone, and sanjuans.life, this instance is for people who want a local feed that is primarily but not exclusively about #BellinghamWA content, but who also want to be able to federate with servers on any topic all around the world.
In this instance we encourage the use of the #BellinghamWA hashtag for tagging your Bellingham content. If you just use #Bellingham these days (without the "WA") your feed will be filled with content about English soccer prodigy Jude Bellingham. :)
This instance is run by @alan@subdued.social, co-moderated by @morganm@subdued.social, and is actively recruiting additional moderators.
This site in particular and the Mastodon fediverse in general are supported exclusively by donations. There are no advertisements here! So please set up a recurring donation at ko-fi.com/subduedsocial if this service is useful to you. Thanks in advance! We use Masto.host for hosting (for full transparency, their pricing is here: masto.host/pricing) so a regular donation of a couple dollars per month would be greatly appreciated.
A portion of all proceeds are donated to the Lhaq’temish Foundation as a form of voluntary land tax paid to the indigenous peoples of our area.
This instance commits to The Mastodon Server Covenant.

UK Online Safety Act
Following the Online Safety Act, we have prepared an illegal harms risk assessment.
Instance rules
- Don’t do anything that’s illegal in the UK or EU.
- Aggression and elitism are unwelcome here - it’s not a competition. Don’t assume you know better than the person you’re talking to.
- We want to be inclusive; do not engage in exclusionary behaviour or language against anyone based on their race, caste, gender (binary, assigned or otherwise), disability, mental health, sexual orientation, level of education or age.
- Don’t make exclusionary jokes. Don’t even make them “ironically”.
- Don’t harass people. Unconsented contact or sexual attention can constitute harassment, even if it wasn’t intended to cause upset. Dressing or acting in a certain way is not consent.
- All services on this site are intended for people who are at least 18 years old. If you are under the age of 18, do not use this site.
- No spam. While difficult to define precisely, a broad guideline is 'the advertising of goods or services we find inappropriate, irrelevant, or too frequent'. If in doubt, ask us and we will be happy to engage and advise.
