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.

ダウナー系ノンジャンルサーバーです。
Long description
当サーバーはサッポロビール株式会社とは一切関係ございません。

概要

こんな鯖名ですが、当初個人鯖として立てたので一応ノンジャンルサーバーのつもりです。わたしがアル中なだけです。

鯖缶がアレな人なので、市販薬・処方薬OD、ドラッグ、大麻、リスカ等々…他ではやりづらい話題もフリーです!

サブ垢・鍵垢・裏垢置き場としてもどうぞ。

お酒は別に飲んでなくても大丈夫です。

当サーバーの独自機能について

公開範囲による投稿の色分け

フォロワーのみ投稿の背景色は黒になり、公開範囲の識別が容易になります。

文字色の関係上ライトテーマにすると文字が闇に飲み込まれます。ダークかハイコントラストを使ってください。

カラム幅自動調整

上級者向けUIにおいて、閲覧しているブラウザの横幅が1680px〜2560pxの場合、4カラムで全画面表示になるようにカラム幅を拡大します。2560px以上の場合、2560px時の横幅に固定されます。

5カラム目以降は大抵画面外にバーストされます。

Bot作成及び運用について

鯖缶に個別にご相談ください。

⚠注意

個人鯖として立てたものを開放したので、管理者の判断により、一部連合サーバーの制限・データ削除などを行うことがあります。ご了承ください。

スパムが多いので一時的に承認制になってます。

申請理由はテキトーに書いてください。鯖缶が死んだりしてなければ入れます。

Welcome to vyrse.social!

Storytelling touches all aspects of our lives. Narrative is a powerful tool in all forms of communication and experience, even in the most empirical fields of study.

Writers, podcasters, actors, journalists, academics, artists and activists are all storytellers. The power of communication and creative expression unites us!

This instance wants to be a home for those who live and breath communication and creative expression. We are all different, but find common ground in our love of storytelling and narrative.

No corporate & brand accounts are permitted, but self-promotion is welcome. Collaboration is encouraged. Exploration and growth is the goal!
Instance rules
  1. No promoting violence or hate.
  2. No doxxing.
  3. No fascism/colonialism/nationalism/religious extremism.

  6. No spamming/gratuitous advertising (reasonable self promotion is fine).
  7. No graphic, violent, overtly sexual or political content without a content warning. Content Warnings are like spoiler alerts, trigger warnings, or plain old politeness. Please use them.
  8. No automated/unattended crossposting/backfilling from another site.
  9. No derogatory comments/bullying.

Administration is in Boston, MA, but we're open to all. Posting size is 12K characters because you have interesting things to say. Threads federating. Disposable email addresses are not allowed.
Long description
This is a general-purpose Mastodon instance managed in Boston, Massachusetts. All are welcome to sign up, so long as the rules are followed.

We also relay with over 1,500 other servers, some very large. This means we share each other's posts and accounts in real time. Your posts go to those servers immediately, even if there are no follow relationships. Servers without relay relationships only share posts when there are follow relationships. Your audience is large here, and you see more posts than you would on servers that do not relay.

You can see the incoming messages arriving here from all over the Fediverse from the relay by going to our Live feed

We do not secretly shadow-ban our own users ("limit" or "silence"). We will always notify the account owner of the action and the reason.

When signing up, you must read the quick, short set of rules presented to you. Requesting an account is confirmation that you read and agree to abide by our rules.

Donations:

Donations are appreciated but are never required! They go toward supporting this Mastodon instance and the other apps that I run, which are now averaging about $800/month in total. Besides this Mastodon server, I also run:

Peertube (a Fediverse YouTube equivalent): https://my-sunshine.video

PieFed (a Fediverse Reddit equivalent): https://feddit.online

BlueSky PDS (Private Data Server) https://blue-ocean.social: If you are interested in a Bluesky account where your data and identity are not kept on their corporate server, but rather on the blue-ocean.social server, email Jerry@blue-ocean.social and I will send an invitation code. Your Bluesky account will be named similar to mine, @jerry.blue-ocean.social

Lots of information on how to use Mastodon

Technical information and work log

Important to know to get the most from Mastodon, is to understand the difference between hashtag use on Twitter and on Mastodon.

You can follow hashtags in Mastodon so that any posts visible to this server that have the hashtag, will appear in your timeline. You don't have to search for a hashtag as you do on Twitter.

Therefore, using hashtags in Mastodon is important if you want people in other instances to see your post. And it's a great way to be discovered and to discover other interesting people.

You can follow a hashtag by clicking on it within a post and then clicking the "+" in the top-right corner.

On this server, the maximum number of characters in a post is 12,000. The Mastodon default is 500, but I bumped it higher. Also, note that a URL in a Mastodon post always counts as 23 characters, regardless of its true length. URL shorteners are not required for Mastodon posts.

Leaving Twitter? Add your Mastodon account name to your Twitter profile, so others can find you on Mastodon. Your Mastodon account name looks something like this: @jerry@hear-me.social

DMCA Takedown Notices: We adhere to the rules regarding DMCA Intellectual Property takedown notices. Please send notices to DMCA@hear-me.social. This email address is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office

This server prohibits posting copyright-protected materials, and we will remove these materials when notified. Anyone found posting copyrighted materials may or may not be notified before having their account suspended. A suspended account has 30 days to contact us, at admin@hear-me.social, to appeal.

This server prohibits posting Child Sexual Abuse Materials (CSAM). Images are actively scanned. Their mathematical hashes are compared to the hashes of known CSAM images in the NCMEC.ORG database. Any matches are automatically reported, and the image is blocked. Nobody, nor any software, looks at the actual images, it's just a mathematical calculation on the bits.

While I do not believe anyone on this server posts CSAM material, since we relay with over 1,500 other servers, it is necessary to scan the images the server is exposed to.

Server announcements can be found at @announcements

Don't hesitate to say hi, or ask any questions!

If you see content that violates our rules, please use the report feature, or notify an administrator.

Most importantly, have fun and be nice to each other! Our main priority is to protect our users from the darker part of the fediverse. Thus, we employ instance-wide pre-emptive blocking and muting of users and instances that are in conflict with the rules defined below.

Twootsite will always go for the option that minimises harm whilst maximising freedom.

Donation

You can donate to Twootsite to keep the servers running at Liberapay

Our instance blocklist is available upon request.
Instance rules
  1. Hate speech and discrimination, such as, but not limited to, racism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia and abelism and content illegal in Europe is not allowed in any form.
  2. Content warnings (CWs) are often either required or highly encouraged to keep our server safe and friendly for as many people as possible. CW-ing nudity, lewdness, politics, gore and spam-like posts are all mandatory. Failure to comply will result in account limiting.
  3. Bios (account biographies) should be kept "safe for work". Highly distracting, lewd or otherwise obscene avatar or header images are not allowed.
  4. Malicious or misleading information (such as, but not limited to, anti-science, fake news and hate brigading) are bannable offences. This also includes the encouragement and normalising of said information. Such content can, for example, include anti-vaccine and alternative medicine.
  5. Extreme political content, such as Nazism, authoritarianism, "tankieism", and extreme nationalism is a bannable offence. An exception to this are news stories and meta around these topics.
  6. Incitement of violence, regardless of the situation, is generally not allowed and appropriate content warnings is required as a minimum! We also realise that there is a difference between punching up vs. down, and that violence is sometimes unavoidable, such as protests.
  7. Advertising is discouraged and is allowed at the discretion of moderators. Commissions related to the arts, charitable causes (that are demonstrably not for-profit) and personal donation requests are exempt. A general rule is that if you think that it would be annoying, put it behind a CW.
  8. We do not allow any bots or automated services including crossposters from other social media sites. You can have a look at sites like "botsin.space" for that kind of stuff.
  9. Doxing and non-consensual breaches of privacy is not allowed and breaking this rule will most likely result in a ban.
  10. Posting uncaptioned media with public visibility is not allowed and will get your account limited, usually if repeated behaviour is observed. Twootsite is supposed to be an inclusive and accessible place. Only local posts are affected by this rule, not remote posts or boosts.
