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.

Just a mastodon for people who host at least 1 IKEA BLÅHAJ
Long description
Welcome to BLÅHAJ Social a Mastodon instance for BLÅHAJ and friends of BLÅHAJ.

What can you use?

We have a Mastodon server with full text search (on local posts) enabled, we offer LibreTranslate on posts in the web interface (data does not leave the network for this feature).

How do I support this server?

Currently we can handle all users with some spare capacity on private infrastructure and <$1 in object storage.

If you would like to contribute to our energy costs, hardware maintenance or those domain renewal fees you can do so at


Technical Transparency

We aim to be transparent in how we operate, while we are looking into how to do this properly without too much overhead a list of resources is below:


Environmental impact

Earth is the only home we have for our beloved sharks, we do our very best to take care of it! We host our servers in-house (except for CDN) with an energy provider that only invests our energy tokens in local green power (wind, solar, bio). Thanks to a new regulation we are currently investing in our own solar panels to power our server at daytime. Our hardware itself exists of pre-loved server hardware, expanding its lifetime and reducing e-waste (and honestly costs).
Instance rules
  1. Must cuddle at least 1 IKEA BLÅHAJ or be a BLÅHAJ
  2. Be a decent person: NO violence, fascism, colonialism, white supremacy, religious extremism, nationalism,racism,homophobia, transphobia...
  3. Do nothing that is illegal in Belgium (where the servers are)
  4. No NFSW accounts

Instance rules
  1. Do not use slurs or racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist or otherwise discriminatory or hateful jokes or language or promote white supremacy, anti-Semitism, transphobia or other hateful ideologies.
  2. Do not harass anyone, participate in group harassment of anyone, or otherwise engage in personal attacks. Posting or threatening to post other people’s personally identifying information (“doxing”) constitutes harassment.
  3. Do not be intentionally antagonistic. A post or reply designed to provoke a confrontation is not acceptable.
  4. Do not post adult content, including pictures containing nudity, or unwelcome sexual attention (including sexualized comments or jokes).
  5. Do not use automated tools to toot without participating in the community. It is fine to post with an automated tool so long as you are an active member of the Mastodon.Beer community and respond to replies you receive here. Unmonitored accounts that post automatically are not acceptable.
  6. Please post in English, at least for initial posts. The admin only speaks English. Until or unless that changes, this will make dealing with any issues or concerns simpler.
  7. Do not post spam. Toots that are nothing other than a link and/or contain an inordinate number of hashtags are spam, as does any overly commercial self-promotion. (It is fine to toot about your own projects and share what you are excited to be working on — just keep the toot itself interesting).
  8. Do not post about inflammatory, controversial subjects without a Content Warning. Content Warnings are also a kindness. Think of them as opt-in hash tags that might save someone creating an opt-out via a filter.
  9. Do not “shitpost” which is defined as: "to post off-topic, false, or offensive contributions to an online forum with the intent to derail the discussion or provoke other participants".
  10. Do not engage in name calling, ad hominem attacks, or any other uncivil behaviour; criticize ideas, never people. You do not have to be nice, you are asked to try to be kind.
  11. Do not tone police. Toots may violate the standards of civility we set on Mastodon.Beer, but you should not criticize users for their tone. Report them or feel free to block them. In neither case should you criticize their tone.

I have been for decades and have enjoyed for as long as I can remember.

I briefly contemplated turning my home brewery, Quiet Scheme, into a commercial brewery and tap room then thought better of it.

I am the owner and sole admin of mastodon.beer, I use this account mostly in that role and for in the weeds brewing posts. Follow me on main for everything else.

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。

About TOPLAP Social

CONTENTS STILL EVOLVING

TOPLAP Social is intended as the home for live coding on Mastodon. It is for those involved with live coding in some capacity - practitioner, organizer, learner, researcher, getting started, or exploring.

Joining

If you want to participate in our live coding community, please request an account and briefly tell us about your live coding interest. If you are already engaged in live coding, one sentence is enough ("I'm currently live coding in Tidal, Hydra and Mercury.") If you are learning or curious and exploring, tell us more about what you want to do with live coding and why you want to join. If you don't mention live coding or something closely related, we will likely leave your account request in "Pending" and ask for more detail.

When you join - Profile + #introduction

Once you have your bearings please add details to your Profile and tell us about yourself with an #introduction post.

  • What platforms are you interested in exploring, or what are you already using?
  • Add info to help us get to know you, and perhaps link to some things you've made or are interested in.
  • Be sure to add an #introduction tag, and other hashtags that you expect to follow.

Goals for TOPLAP Social

We are striving for an active, engaged, supportive, diverse, and safe environment.

  • A place where live coders and those interested in live coding share their thoughts, ideas and creative expressions.
  • It must be a place free of threatening or uncomfortable speech and generally not cluttered with a lot of unrelated chatter.
  • We seek higher levels of engagement that foster communication, interaction, and vulnerability.
  • Ultimately it should be simple and down to earth - a place where people talk about their activity, interests and journeys in live coding and related creative expressions.

Moderation (MORE COMING SOON)

Monitoring and managing content will become more important as our community grows. Fortunately, Mastodon has built-in tools to help. We plan to flesh this out as soon as we can, and plan to expand our team of admins to help review and respond to posts that may diverge from our shared community interest. For now, you can post any concerns about content to the @toplap shared admin account.

Content Aids (MORE ON THIS COMING)

  • You should use Content Warnings (CW) for any post, graphic, or video that may potentially be unwanted by others.
  • Add descriptions for media content.

Community and Project Accounts

We have made a point of bringing in local community accounts and project accounts.

  • Community accounts can be existing TOPLAP nodes or any other local organization engaged in live coding activity. In this way we learn about and support activity happening at the local level.
  • Project accounts represent specific live coding languages and platforms, like Mercury, Gibber, TidalCycles or combined projects like Bubo Tools.

Using TOPLAP Social

  • Check the timelines regularly (Home, Notifications, Local, etc). The Home timeline shows activity from yourself and your Followers. The Local timeline shows activity from TOPLAP Social, all posts from all accounts on our server.
  • Respond to posts of interest - reply, boost, favorite, bookmark, etc.
  • Visibility (link icon): You can set the visibility level on your post, setting local-only vs federated for every post and reply you make. The default "Federated" is best for most posts, but circumstances exist where you want to limit something to our server alone.
  • Visibility (globe icon): Select "Public", "Followers Only", or "Mentioned People Only".
  • Annoucements: we will use these to communicate important messages to everyone.

Hometown

We run on a forked instance of mastodon called Hometown. It has a few key enhancements, including local-only posts, and an increased post limit of 1500 characters (up from 500). https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown

Admin team


We use @toplap@toplap.org as a shared administrative account.

We are actively looking for people interested to help. We need more people to help bring diverse perspectives and cover more timezones and (human) languages. We are seeking help with content moderation. As it's a brand new community, run with a flat structure by consensus, you'd have a hand in helping shape the community as it grows.

Costs / Open Collective crowd fund

For longevity of this server, we will establish an operating fund. This needs to be sustainable for the long term. The server costs are ~ $25 USD per month, which will increase to $35. With event streaming, infrastructure costs will grow to $50+/month. Our $100 referral credit has expired and we are now accruing hosting costs monthly.

The TOPLAP opencollective crowd fund is now available. People with funding sources and those with adequate means can contribute to the costs. Locations with advantageous exchange rates can also be considered.

More about Live Coding

Live coding is a movement in performing arts tech that began around the year 2000. TOPLAP is a loose organisation formed in 2004, to collectively explore and promote live coding.

You can read more about live coding in Live Coding: A User's Manual. Available via open access.

The aim of this server is to help host a community of live coders on the fediverse. You can find a growing list of live coding communities and project accounts (on this instance and beyond) in this post.
Instance rules
  1. We do not tolerate harassment, e.g. offensive comments around gender/gender expression, sexual orientation, disability, race, ethnicity, religion and tech choices, and unwelcome sexual attention. <a href="https://www.un.org/en/hate-speech/">Hate speech</a> is likely to result in an immediate ban.
  2. Please provide a summary/description for images, to keep things accessible e.g. for visually impaired people.
  3. Be a kind host. If you make use of your invites to get new people to TOPLAP social, you are their point of contact! Show them around, introduce them to others who they might connect with and make sure they feel at home and make others feel at home as well.
  4. Keep the 'local' timeline accessible and tidy! This is only shared space. Make top-level posts public and subsequent posts in the same thread 'unlisted' unless they are very important or updated at slow pace across time (like a slowly updated research log or slowly built collection).
  5. Please do share your work, but avoid the excessive self-promotion styles seen on corporate social networks.

Mastodon Server Covenant

We are committed to the Mastodon Server Covenant which includes the following statements.



  • Active moderation against racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia Users must have the confidence that they are joining a safe space, free from white supremacy, anti-semitism and transphobia of other platforms.



  • Daily backups It is important for users to have the confidence that a trip over the power cable or a rogue bit flip will not erase all of their data. Having a backup strategy is a basic necessity of providing a public service.



  • At least one other person with emergency access to the server infrastructure Various circumstances can prevent the original owner of the Mastodon server from answering technical emergencies. For this reason, more than one person must have that capability.



  • Commitment to give users at least 3 months of advance warning in case of shutting down


Sometimes services shut down, it is the cycle of life. But users must have the confidence that their account will not disappear overnight, so that they have time to export their data and find another server.

By Ethan, for the peeps.
Long description
Welcome!

What is this?

This is a instance of Mastodon that I (Ethan) am hosting for friends, family, and friends of friends! It's ad free, only the people you follow are on your feed, and their posts are in chronological order! Super neat.

NOTE: Accounts pend manual approval. You will only be able to edit your account profile until your account is approved by me (Ethan).

Knowing someone who's in is also a requirement AKA, IYKYK.



  • Invite your friends!



  • Self hosted so, if it goes up in flames, it is what it is. ( I do my best to avoid this :P )



  • Enjoy it! Intended for friends, friends of friends, and so on.


You can create an account on the web, or find a Mastodon client (app) for your device:

Be sure to set your instance to wigs.cafe

IOS:



  • Mastodon for IOS 18.6 and above. ~82mb



  • Metatext for IOS 15 and above. ~33mb. NOTE: This app is no longer maintained, so it might not work with 100% of things.


Android:


Feel free to email support@wigs.cafe for assistance :)

And again, learn more about Mastodon
