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.

Long description
Azrak Social is a general purpose Mastodon instance run by Azrak Group in the United Kingdom.
Age verification
You need to confirm you are 18 or over to create an account.
This is a UK legal requirement under the Online Safety Act, not a policy of ours.
We do it in the way that gives away the least. Your device confirms your age and tells us one thing: whether you are over 18. We do not receive your date of birth, your name, or which document you used. We never see or store an ID, and there is no face scan or selfie check. You verify once with Apple, and we get a yes or a no.
Azrak builds on Apple platforms, so that is what we support first and support properly. Verification on other devices is on the way.
What to expect
Part of the Azrak network, alongside Azrak Forums and Azrak Photos.
Source and licensing
This service runs Mastodon, free software licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3. Upstream source: github.com/mastodon/mastodon. Our configuration and branding modifications are available on request from support@azrak.io.

Paktodon is an Independent social-platform for the Global South – an ‘azad’ space for ordinary citizens, students, and activists to share, learn, grow, and collaborate in.
Long description
Paktodon.Asia is the online public square for the Global South – a safe 'azad' mastodon server (instance) for ordinary citizens, students, and activists, to share, learn, grow, and collaborate in. Though we are all pakistani, Paktodon.Asia is open to friends from across the world!
(Read more about how to sign-up at the bottom :D )
The Team:
Our Woman-led team are all part-time volunteers. If you wish have any questions, or would like to contribute or collaborate in any way, toot at our team accounts:
• Risham Waseem – Admin / 'Nigraan', @admin@paktodon.asia
(Co-Founder/Director of MaatiTv)
• Dr. Jibreel Sohail – Moderator / 'Chowkidar', @jibreel_sohail@paktodon.asia
(Medical Doctor)
• Community Moderator – TBD
• Official Correspondence Email – paktodon.asia@gmail.com
We will respond as soon as we can (after work!)
SUPPORT OUR INDEPENDENCE!
We are just a bunch of people personally trying to help. Running your own server for the public is expensive. Please support us in keeping Paktodon.Asia independent and online by donating:
• LiberaPay – donate
• DM on Insta –
Costs:
• Server Rental –
• Web Hosting –
• Mail Hosting –
(We aren't collecting donations yet, as of 2nd July 23)
Our Origin Story
With the ongoing climate-catastrophes and the implosion of vital social media companies, our team realized that our citizens and activists urgently needed a replacement that was more resilient, trustworthy, and sensitive to our needs and cultures - Paktodon.Asia.
The specific needs of both activists and ordinary citizens are never a priority for social media platforms:
What we see is decided by toxic algorithms devoted to commercial interests; Our security and freedoms are overlooked; Our mental health is never even an afterthought.
We intend to counter these challenges by building a tolerant, empathetic, and safe organic community where agency lies with the user.
This mastodon instance strives to be a space where people can come together, form community and join advocacy, create action for the climate fight and social injustices facing us, learn and grow;
or simply just be themselves!
Why Trust Paktodon?
Paktodon.Asia aims to bring our citizens’ voices online, under the premise of safety and trust.
How?
Simple,
we will vet every account joining our instance, whether they remain anonymous or use their real identity.
We will not keep any private data, but we will make sure that every account is a real genuine person (anonymous users), or are who they say they are (real identity users).
Honesty and trust immensely help improve the quality of online discourse.
If you see a user from Paktodon.Asia you can rest easy – they are a genuine account belonging to that person.
Assuring Safety
Paktodon.Asia pledges to follow the Mastodon 'Server Covenant', in addition to our own moderation 'Server Rules' (see below).
However, safety is always an ongoing task: please help our team by reporting any toots (posts) or behaviours you feel do not belong here.
Thanks to mastodon’s design, our Admins are able to use multiple tools to deal with such issues quickly, and will do so!
The Mastodon Advantages
Decentralized = Federated = OpenSource = Social Media
• Its decentralized servers are all community owned and volunteer run – it can never be bought or controlled.
• It is federated – all mastodon servers can interact, or choose to block others (like violent or extremist servers).
• It is fully open-source like the old internet – it is free from corporate influence, AI or surveillance tech.
• Chronological (instead of AI) feeds with active moderation guarantee a more relaxing experience online. You curate your own feed, and decide what you want to see!
• There are No Annoying Ads!
The Mastodon Apps
Although there are official apps, Paktodon.Asia recommends Tusky for android users, and Metatext for apple users, due to more features and better UI designs.
There are other great third-party apps as well, and if you would like us to mention them too, let us know! =)
How to Sign-up?
Once you fill out the sign-up form on Paktodon.Asia and submit it, our team will contact you through our correspondence email (paktodon.asia@gmail.com) with the subject "Manual Verification for Paktodon.Asia" to manually verify you.
After we have confirmed you are not a bot, we will immediately activate your account here.
We do this to keep our users safe from bots, harassers, imposters, and other malicious actors. We understand this might sound a bit tedious, but we firmly believe in preventing issues rather than a 'free-for-all' and 'ignore the problem' approach Twitter, Facebook, and other companies indulge in.
This allows us to guarantee Paktodon.Asia users a standard of safety and privacy unmatched by any mainstream social media platform.
We actively look out for you! O=)

About Us
Alaskan.Social is an independent social media community, created, moderated, and owned by Alaskans. Welcome to greater Alaska’s corner of the Fediverse, an ad-free, open-source, decentralized social network powered by Mastodon.
By signing up and continuing to use Alaskan Social, you agree to be bound by the terms set out below.
Donations
Donate here!
Alaskan Social is co-owned by all of us! We are managed by a small group of volunteers and are dependent on donations to cover our hosting costs. Thank you for donating to Alaskan Social!
Our costs include webhosting on Fedi-Monster, annual domain name, and an annual fee for a secure password manager. This comes out to around $300/yr at our current activity level of 50-100 active users.
Mastodon Server Covenant
Alaskan.Social follows the Mastodon Server Covenant which guarantees basic server stability as well as active moderation against racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia.
What is Mastodon
Mastodon uses the ActivityPub computer language, or protocol, and is inter-operable with all other platforms who use ActivityPub. The entire network is known as the fediverse, a collection of servers who federate with one another for the benefit of all users. From Alaskan Social you will see and can follow users from other platforms besides Mastodon.
The fediverse is currently expanding and is, to our knowledge, the largest user-owned, volunteer-run social media network in existence.
Tips from the moderators:
Our Guidelines
Safety and Moderation
We actively prioritize user safety and moderation. We will suspend or block users who violate our rules. Like many other Mastodon servers, we will "fedi-block" entire servers who host bots, racists, trolls, or fascists, etc. or who otherwise harass users on our server.
When you report an account or server, please indicate which server rule has been broken and include any extra context or explanation, if possible. We are volunteer moderators and will try to address the issue as soon as we are able.
Your data and privacy
You choose how public to make your posts from the options Mastodon provides. Don’t share information publicly that you do not want to share with the whole internet.
We can see basic account and profile information that you provide when signing up to the server, such as username, email, name (real or fake) and IP address. We do not share your information with any third parties or run analytics. Server admins can technically access users’ direct messages, but pledge not to do so. We strongly recommend not sending any confidential or private information via direct message on Mastodon (or equally on Twitter) because the messages are not end-to-end encrypted. WhatsApp and Signal are currently end-to-end encrypted applications.
Liability
You are responsible for the content that you make available to the server, including its legality and appropriateness. Please abide by the stated server rules when using Alaskan Social. In case of breach of rules, the administrators reserve the right to remove you.
In no event will Alaskan Social, the administrators and the moderators be liable to you or any third party for any special, indirect, incidental, exemplary or consequential damages of any kind arising out of or in connection with the server and content included on or otherwise made available to you through the server.
Our Goals:
Alaska is Indigenous land
We recognize the Alaska Native communities that have lived throughout what we now call "Alaska" since time immemorial. We are committed to honoring Alaska's Indigenous people and cultures by actively decolonizing our own server community as it evolves.

Alaskan.Social is an independent social media community, created, moderated, and owned by Alaskans. Welcome to greater Alaska’s corner of the Fediverse, an ad-free, open-source, decentralized social network powered by Mastodon.
By signing up and continuing to use Alaskan Social, you agree to be bound by the terms set out below.
Donations
Donate here!
Alaskan Social is co-owned by all of us! We are managed by a small group of volunteers and are dependent on donations to cover our hosting costs. Thank you for donating to Alaskan Social!
Our costs include webhosting on Fedi-Monster, annual domain name, and an annual fee for a secure password manager. This comes out to around $300/yr at our current activity level of 50-100 active users.
Mastodon Server Covenant
Alaskan.Social follows the Mastodon Server Covenant which guarantees basic server stability as well as active moderation against racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia.
What is Mastodon
Mastodon uses the ActivityPub computer language, or protocol, and is inter-operable with all other platforms who use ActivityPub. The entire network is known as the fediverse, a collection of servers who federate with one another for the benefit of all users. From Alaskan Social you will see and can follow users from other platforms besides Mastodon.
The fediverse is currently expanding and is, to our knowledge, the largest user-owned, volunteer-run social media network in existence.
Tips from the moderators:
Use a 3rd party app to make Alaskan Social easy and fun to use. Iphone users like Ivory, Mona, Mammoth, and Ice Cubes. Android users recommend Tusky. All the apps have different features and emphasize different things. Elk and Ivory also make desktop applications.
Before you start following new people, ensure you have a profile pic, a bio, and maybe a pinned post or two so people have enough info to follow you back.
Your "local" feed will feature public posts from our Alaska server, but your "home" feed will feature everyone you follow throughout the entire fediverse. The "federated" feed is all the accounts our server connects with through our individual follower relationships.
Explore hashtags to find community. For example: #BikeTooter for transit types, #BloomScrolling for flower enthusiasts, #BlackMastodon or #BlackFedi for Black community, etc.
Use an #Introduction post to introduce yourself and your interests, people love to boost those to help you find new friends. Use hashtags so it remains searchable.
We've found that Mastodon has a different culture than corporate social media due to responsiveness of moderation on community servers. However no one gets to tell you how to Mastodon. You can shitpost, quote post (some apps allow it or use screenshots), yell into the void, post lewds and nudes or #NSFW, have alts, etc. as long as you adhere to our safety rules. Mute or block scolds or report them to the mods if they are tone policing your posts about racism or other systems of oppression.
Our Guidelines
Alaska: Users do not need to show their Alaska card to be on the server, nor do users need to only post about Alaska on this server, but Alaska users are encouraged and our goal is to build community among Alaskans and people with meaningful connections to Alaska.
Self-promotion: Boosting causes, events, or your own work is fine. Just avoid being spammy. We request commercial entities using the server make a modest donation, as this is a volunteer-run server that relies on crowdfunding (see below).
Don’t be a jerk: Like similar place-based Mastodon servers, Alaskan Social aims to promote dialogue and community, which means we ask that you avoid targeted harassment, bullying, etc. Please treat others with respect, practice de-escalation, and report posts that break server rules.
Content warnings: Consider using Mastodon's Content Warnings (CW) feature for posts containing sexual, violent, or extra stressful content. Please also CW if you are posting about fascists/racist accts or posts you want others to know about. CW are not encouraged or expected for posting about topics such as racism or transphobia.
Hashtags: Use them for posts you wish to be searchable. Some apps will show your frequent hashtags as part of your profile. Using #CamelCase rather than #alllowercase makes them accessible to visually impaired users.
Use Alt Text on images so that visually-impaired users can understand your posts. You can be brief, just describe what's in the photo.
Safety and Moderation
We actively prioritize user safety and moderation. We will suspend or block users who violate our rules. Like many other Mastodon servers, we will "fedi-block" entire servers who host bots, racists, trolls, or fascists, etc. or who otherwise harass users on our server.
When you report an account or server, please indicate which server rule has been broken and include any extra context or explanation, if possible. We are volunteer moderators and will try to address the issue as soon as we are able.

Build inclusive community by being a safe, fun, and friendly forum for all things Alaskan including news, politics, the arts, sports, events, organizing, environment, Alaska Native issues, networking etc.
Operate a reliable and functional Mastodon server that Alaskans can count on.
Use transparent moderation to promote our code of conduct and server rules.
