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.

Long description
Welcome to Famichiki!

Famichiki is a community-driven Mastodon server operated by a small group of foreigners residing in Japan. While we primarily have English speakers in our community, we welcome users of all languages. Our platform is designed for foreigners who currently live, have lived, or are interested in living in Japan, as well as Japanese individuals seeking to engage with the international community in our chosen home.

Join our platform to connect with an active and diverse community. Whether you’re an English speaker or prefer another language, you’ll find comradeship and valuable resources for navigating life in Japan.

Volunteer Driven and Community Financed

Famichiki Mastodon is run by unpaid volunteers and our infrastructure is paid for 100% by donations from our community. While donations are not mandatory, we appreciate any contributions you can make. Donations can be one time or regular subscription payments, and even anonymously if that’s more to your liking. Contributions can be made via our Open Collective page. We’re looking at adding benefits for paying subscribers - please check @admins for further updates!

Our Team

The server is moderated by the following people:


All of our team are involved in the day to day operation of the server, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to any of us (or the @admins account) if you have any questions or need any help.

Pixelfed

We have a community supported Pixafed Instance as well!

Discord

We are also on Discord! Participation on Discord is encouraged but by no means required. If the server is down for whatever reason, Discord will be the first place of contact.

Regarding Our Rules

These rules exist to ensure a positive community experience for all of our members. No moderation decision is automatic; every report is reviewed by one of our team and, where necessary, acted on in agreement with other team members. If you feel as though you have been penalized unfairly, please feel free to reach out either via an appeal or by emailing us. We do defederate from servers whose policies clearly lie against our own; please check the ‘moderated servers’ list for more information.

免責事項

本Mastodonサーバー「famichiki.jp」は、独立した非営利的コミュニティ運営によるものであり、株式会社ファミリーマート、その関連会社、またはその登録商標「ファミチキ」とは一切の関係・提携・承認を有しません。 本サイト上に言及される商標・商品名・サービス名等は、各権利者に帰属し、権利を侵害する意図はありません。
Instance rules
  1. Be considerate. No discrimination based on race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, nationality, or any other characteristic.
  2. No trolling. Do not engage in non-constructive behavior designed to upset members of the community.
  3. Sexually explicit content must be behind a CW, and your bio (profile picture, banner etc) must be completely safe.
  4. No inciting violence or promoting violent ideologies.
  5. Don’t go overboard with media uploads. Treating Famichiki as free personal file storage is inappropriate and disrespectful to our contributors.
  6. No big corporate advertising or crypto. However, if you are active in the community and also have a project or small business to share, self-promotion is encouraged.
  7. Bots are allowed, within reason. Spamming the local timeline with repetitive/nearly-identical content is not permitted: either set your bot posts to ‘unlisted’ or try a more bot focused server instead. Ask us if you’re unsure!
  8. Don’t post or use this server for illegal content. We are aware of Japan’s questionable laws regarding the protection of minors: ‘illegal’ here also covers all CSEM/CSAM.
  9. Not your wank bank. Accounts with zero community interaction that only follow porn accounts will be banned. All accounts following CSAM (including art) will also be banned.

A server for PHP programmers & friends. Join us for discussions on the PHP programming language, frameworks, packages, tools, open source, tech, life, and more.
Long description


Welcome

Welcome to the PHP community on Mastodon! We provide a place for PHP programmers & friends to discuss topics related to the PHP programming language, frameworks, packages, tools, open source, tech, life, and more. First and foremost, we're about building community, and that doesn't always involve technical discussion, so feel free to go off-topic and have fun.

Who's Behind This?

phpc.social is a PHP Commmunity Foundation project. PHP Community Foundation created phpc.social for the public benefit of the PHP community.

How Can I Help?

Thank you for your willingness to help! We appreciate it. Here are some areas we could use your help:

  • Contribute financially by donating through the phpc.social Open Collective project.
  • Volunteer as a moderator—get to know our community first! A moderator is a position of trust, so we need to know you're legit and planning to stick around.
  • Server administration—our servers are currently hosted with Masto.host, so we're not in need of help right now, but we'll let you know if that changes.

Code of Conduct

If you believe anyone is in physical danger or doing something that is against the law, please notify appropriate emergency services first by calling the relevant local authorities.

The instance is primarily meant for the PHP community and surrounding tech, but posts are not required to be on-topic. As long as it doesn't break the rules, feel free to talk about whatever you want.

Please remember that being on this server is a privilege, and not a right.

The following guidelines are not a legal document, and final interpretation is up to the administration of phpc.social; they are here to provide you with an insight into our content moderation policies.

These policies apply to: posts, profile information and bio, as well as account handles, on phpc.social.

This is a living document, and updates to it will be made if necessary.

  1. The following types of content will be removed from the public timeline, and may result in account suspension upon repeated violations:

    1. Advertising of off-topic material for the PHP instance.
    2. Advertising more than once per hour of on-topic material without appropriate Content Warning.
    3. More than one automated post per hour or four per day, excluding posts with a visibility of "unlisted" or "followers only".
    4. Accounts that are primarily intended to post automated messages, unless they are marked "This is a bot account" in account settings and all posts have a visibility of "unlisted" or "followers only."
    5. Persistent trolling, and posts to test the limits of moderation
    6. Promotion of scams (including cryptocurrency and NFTs) or known misinformation/disinformation campaigns, such as anti-vaccination or climate denial.

  2. The following types of content will be removed from the public timeline, and will result in a temporary account suspension, and revocation of access to the service:

    1. Nudity, pornography, and sexually explicit content, including artistic depictions, without an appropriate Content Warning
    2. Gore and extremely graphic violence, including artistic depictions, without an appropriate Content Warning

  3. The following types of content will be removed from the public timeline, and may result in account suspension and revocation of access to the service:

    1. Racism or advocation of racism
    2. Sexism or advocation of sexism
    3. Discrimination against gender and sexual minorities, or advocation thereof
    4. Xenophobic and/or violent nationalism
    5. Incitement of violence against individuals or groups

  4. The following types of content are explicitly disallowed and will result in revocation of access to the service:

    1. Sexual depictions of children
    2. Content illegal in Germany and/or France, such as holocaust denial or Nazi symbolism
    3. Conduct promoting the ideology of National Socialism

  5. Any conduct intended to stalk or harass other users, or to impede other users from utilizing the service, or to degrade the performance of the service, or to harass other users, or to incite other users to perform any of the aforementioned actions, is also disallowed, and subject to punishment up to and including revocation of access to the service. This includes, but is not limited to, the following behaviors:

    1. Continuing to engage in conversation with a user that has specifically requested for said engagement with that user to cease and desist, regardless of platform-specific privacy tools employed
    2. Aggregating, posting, and/or disseminating a person's demographic, personal, or private data without express permission (informally called doxing or dropping dox)
    3. Inciting users to engage another user in continued interaction or discussion after a user has requested for said engagement with that user to cease and desist (informally called brigading or dogpiling)


These provisions notwithstanding, the administration of the service reserves the right to revoke any user's access permissions, at any time, for any reason, except as limited by law.

Moderation Procedures

Cross-Instance Moderation

First, a few notes on how cross-instance moderation works:

  1. If a remote user is reported from our instance, the report is immediately forwarded to the home of the remote user.
  2. Suspension of a remote user only makes them invisible from, and unable to react to, users on our instance.
  3. Any moderation actions we take with regard to a remote user are not relayed back to that user’s home instance.
  4. Our view of remote users does not include any information (email, IP address, etc.) that would allow us to proactively block that user from interacting with our instance outside the context of the account they’re currently on.

With that said, if user A on our instance reports user B on another instance for harassment/hate speech or similar-tier offences, moderators can and should take proactive action comparable to if the harassment had been directed at a user on our instance, even if the reported user has had no interactions with our instance (including follows in either direction). So if the remote user’s feed is exclusively hate speech, suspend that user.

Proactive vs. Reactive Moderation

Moderators are not obligated, as part of their role, to actively seek out accounts or posts that break our rules or would result in a report. Moderators, like any user of our instance, can use reporting functionality for bad actors that they see during their own use of the platform, and can even take moderation actions directly without going through the report system if they see something sufficiently egregious, though in those cases moderators should post in Discord with what they've done as an audit trail on top of the one built into Mastodon.

With that said, moderators’ primary duty is to assist in resolving reports made by other users in a timely and consistent manner. This means that the role of a moderator is primarily reactive rather than proactive, and we’re knowingly making the tradeoff of catching things quickly to balance workload on a fully-volunteer moderation staff.

Best Practices

This section contains a set of guidelines on how to best use this instance. They include suggestions for when to use Content Warnings. (Mostly copied from https://blog.chaos.social/rules):

We ask users on phpc.social to keep the following guidelines in mind, in order to foster a considerate and accessible atmosphere. Forgetting about them is not as serious as breaking the instance rules, but repeated malicious unwillingness to follow the best practices will be considered just like breaking a rule.

  • Use content warnings liberally, especially for topics that are potentially disturbing or controversial, or that make life harder for people struggling with addiction or trauma, but also for spoilers.
  • Set the right language for your posts. By default Mastodon will use the interface language to attach to your posts, but if you (for example) have set that to English, and you post in German, then the posts will have "English" attached to them, and translations don’t work.
  • Add descriptions to images and videos.
  • Provide credit for creative works that are not your own.
  • Don't be a reply guy – uninvited comments about another user’s personal choices, lifestyle, or family are strongly discouraged and may be considered harassment.
  • In discussions, please remain civil, do not insult the people you’re talking to. Don’t escalate.

Handling Illegal Content

The moderation team treats illegal content with the utmost gravity. When made aware of the presence of illegal content, through Mastodon's reporting features, or third party app reporting features, or through our contact email address, hello@phpcommunity.org, we will take this down at the earliest opportunity.

The phpc.social Mastodon instance does not use proactive technology to detect illegal content.

We include specific provisions for the following types of content.

Terrorism Content

The type of content defined under Online Safety Act 2023, Schedule 5 will be taken down immediately, and will result in immediate and permanent revocation of access to the service. Where possible, the offending account will also be reported to law enforcement.

CSEA Content

The type of content defined under Online Safety Act 2023, Schedule 6 will be taken down immediately, and will result in immediate and permanent revocation of access to the service. Where possible, the offending account will also be reported to law enforcement.

Priority Illegal Content

The type of content defined under Online Safety Act 2023, Schedule 7 will be taken down immediately, and will result in immediate and permanent revocation of access to the service. Where possible, the offending account will also be reported to law enforcement.

Complaints and Appeals

Complaints about content are best reported through Mastodon's reporting features, be that on the web site or through third party applications. This creates an audit trail.

To appeal moderation actions you may contact us at hello@phpcommunity.org.

The decision made by the moderators is final. It is a privilege to use this service, and not a right.

Reporting Harassment

To report harassment, click the three vertical dots (⋮) on a user's profile and select "Report @user." For urgent concerns, you may contact us at hello@phpcommunity.org.

Policies

Your continued used of phpc.social implies your agreement to our policies. If you disagree with our policies, please discontinue use of our services.

We fully subscribe to and comply with the Mastodon Server Covenant. A number of instance blocks are implemented to comply with the principles of the covenant and to prevent our users from being exposed to content that does not comply with our instance rules.
Instance rules
  1. No sexually explicit or violent media
  2. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, or casteism
  3. No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies
  4. No harassment, dogpiling or doxxing of other users
  5. No content illegal in Germany, France, or the United Kingdom

A social network for guys who are into hypnosis.
Long description
Hypnosis

HypnoGuys is a Mastodon server focused on guys who are into hypnosis, including (but not limited to) erotic applications. This is also commonly known as "erotic hypnosis" or "hypnokink". You do not have to be interested in hypnosis to join this server, but you must understand and accept that hypnosis is the theme of this server.

Gendered Space

HypnoGuys is a gendered space: as the name implies, this server is focused on guys. People of all genders and sexualities are allowed to use this server, as long as they understand that "guys" are the focus here. If you are looking for a Mastodon server focused on hypnosis without this focus on guys, Triggerphrase is an excellent option.

Note that sex and gender discrimination is not allowed on this server. Despite being a gendered space, HypnoGuys does not put down people who are not guys.

Content Warnings (CW)

Mastodon provides a "content warning" feature, where users can gate their posts behind a short piece of text, warning potential readers of what they are about to encounter. Content warnings (or CWs) must be used for content that involves explicit sex, such as fucking.

However, not all erotic content requires a CW on this server. Generally speaking, we follow the example set by the popular woof.group Mastodon server: anything that you might see in a leather bar is perfectly acceptable and does not require a content warning. Flirting, groping, jockstraps, boobs, butts, moderate impact, pup gear: no CW necessary. If you'd take it to the back bar or the playroom, use a CW. Genitals, piss, fucking, fisting, piercing, scat: CW please.

Check out the documentation for woof.group to see more about this policy.

Banned content

You may not post the following content on HypnoGuys:

  • Sexual content involving minors, including artistic depictions
  • Gore and extremely graphic violence, including artistic depictions
  • National Socialism
  • Nazism
  • Holocaust denial
  • Racism
  • Alt right, including under the disguise of freedom of speech
  • Gender-critical
  • Sex and gender discrimination
  • Transphobia
  • Misogyny
  • Pro-ana / Pro-mia
  • "Bugchasing": encouraging intentional HIV transmission/infection

Banned activities

You may not engage in any of the following activities on HypnoGuys:

  • Automated sharing of third-party content, news sources, websites or social media content that doesn’t belong to you
  • Repeated trolling, insulting or derogatory comments towards others, even after they ask you to stop
  • Mass following and aggregation of content

No IP Theft

By posting something on HypnoGuys, you assert that you have the legal right to post that thing and share it with others. In particular, this means that using your HypnoGuys account to re-post pictures, videos, etc that you have found on other parts of the internet is not allowed, unless you have clear permission from the owner of that content to re-post it here.

Linking to other pictures & videos is perfectly fine! Boosting other accounts that post pictures and videos is also fine. Note that accounts on other servers may have different policies about re-posting content without permission, and we cannot enforce our policies on their server.

Approved content

As long as you don't violate any of the above rules, you may post any content you want on HypnoGuys, whether related to hypnosis or not. In addition, here are some examples that are explicitly approved, and do belong on this server:

  • Discussions of hypnosis, including hypnotherapy and erotic hypnosis
  • Media related to hypnosis (such as spirals, art, photo manipulations, audio, video, etc) that you own, or that the owner has provided written permission for you to post
  • Advertising professional services related to hypnosis
  • Explicit sexual content, with an appropriate content warning
Instance rules
  1. Be kind! Don't be a dick.
  2. If it would be fine in a bar or public leather event space, it doesn't need a content warning here. Use content warnings for things you'd take to the back bar or a private room.
  3. We're trans-inclusive, body-positive, and anti-racist here.
  4. You must be over 18 years of age.
  5. You must have the legal rights to any content you post.
  6. You may not post any content that is banned on this server.

A place to join Mastodon, if you're a journalist or someone who works for a recognised media organisation.

Journodon is totally free to use, but it does cost some money to keep the server running sweetly. If you fancy chucking us £1/month, you can do it here.
Instance rules
  1. This server is for journalists or those who work at a recognised media organisation.
  2. You should use your **work email address** (and check your spam for the confirmation email)
  3. If you're a freelancer without a work email address, include your twitter handle and tweet us something like "Hi Journodon, it's me!"
  4. It's a UK-flavoured server
  5. Just like a party, if you're behaving like an arsehole, you'll be asked to leave
  6. Sexually explicit or violent media must be marked as sensitive when posting
  7. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, or casteism, incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies or harassment, dogpiling or doxxing of other users
  8. No content illegal in Europe and Germany (where this site is hosted)

Long description
What is saptodon?

saptodon is a Mastodon server. As such it is connected to the entire Fediverse. Read this blog post I've written some time ago for more information on Fediverse.

Why saptodon?

When Twitter was eventually aquired by Elon Musk I decided to leave Twitter totally. So I tweeted a good bye message to Elon Musk and my followers. In this message I announced that I will be reachable at Mastodon for those who want to stay in contact with me.

Soon after this tweet I was asked by @mianbsp@fosstodon.org if it wouldn't make sense to run a server for the @SAP community. I thoght this was a good idea. So I registered a domain and ordered a Mastodon server from the provider Weingärtner IT Services.

But there are already so many @SAP communities on the internet. Why did you create another one?

All the other communities are great and we don't want to replace even one of them. This is just another one for people who like the Fediverse and it's advantages. See my above mentioned blog for details

The aim of saptodon

With this server I want to start a community for all people who are interested in @SAP technology.

Said this it should be clear that people who don't know what SAP stands for, SAP customers who are only end users of SAP software or SAP recruiters should try to find another Mastodon instance that better suits their interests. SAP customers who are end users of SAP software but are responsible business decision makers and want to get informed or talk about technical aspects are of course welcome.

Why do I have to tell you why I want to register?

We want to build a community for @SAP technology interested people. By telling us which relation you have to @SAP and/or @SAP technology we can and will decide if you are given an account. Sorry for this but read the below section for an explanation

Why do I need to wait for approval of my registration?

We manually check your registration. This may take some time cause we run this server in our free time. The rest of the time we work for our employers / customers.

There are several reasons for this

  • We want to make sure that only people who are interested in @SAP technology can register.
  • We run a small server with limited server resources. To not run into unavailability too often we would like to restrict the number of users.
  • We want to make sure that no recruiters or bots register for an account.
  • We are new to Mastodon hosting and hence want to get some experience first before we open up for the entire internet.

This requirement might change in the future. So stay tuned if you are not fine with it. In that case in the meantime you can of course create a Mastodon account at any other Mastodon instance without this restriction and follow the members of this server from there.

Where are our servers located?

The technical hosting of this server is done by Weingärtner IT Services. This hoster is located in Germany and all it's servers are located in Germany too.

Who are we?

Currently "we" is just me, the admin and owner of this server @saptodonadm@saptodon.org.

But I think in near future we will get some additional moderators will help us to maintain this server. If you want to support send us a message.

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 saptodon community and respond to replies you receive here. Unmonitored accounts that post automatically are not acceptable.
  6. Do not debate moderation actions in public toots. If you disagree with how a moderator enforced this CoC you may direct-message the moderation team or email h.tammen@tammen-it-solutions.de
  7. Toot in English, please. This makes moderation easier and it helps everyone on this server to follow the discussions. If you toot from your saptodon account to someone at another server in another language than english that's of course ok.
  8. 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).
  9. Do not post about inflammatory, controversial subjects without a Content Warning.
  10. Do not “shitpost” - while humorous posts are allowed, and actually encouraged, there is no place for “shitposting” on saptodon.
  11. Do not engage in name calling, ad hominem attacks, or any other uncivil behaviour; criticize ideas, never people.
  12. Do not tone police. Toots may violate the standards of civility we set on saptodon, 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.
  13. Abide by the law. Very simple. You can also be reported on the internet.
  14. If you want to create a NSFW-only account, you may want to consider another instance. We are probably not suitable for you.
  15. We do not tolerate violent nationalist propaganda, Nazi symbolism or the promotion of the ideology of National Socialism.
  16. Recruiter? This is probably not your space If you are a recruiter or work for recruiter this may not be your mastodon instance. If you place project requests here we will suspend your account. You can of course discuss SAP issues with us.
