Instances

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.

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, technical or non-technical, 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.

We currently count 12,879 Mastodon instances, with 19,189,423 users (4,140,462 active during last month) and 1,386,573,944 published statuses. [Show Threads moderation statistics]

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.

The Mastodon server for the Drosophila community
Long description
This a Mastodon server for the Drosophila research community.

This server is meant to improve interaction among Drosophila scientists and aficionados. By joining this instance you will have access to the entire Mastodon universe and you will be able to read, follow and be followed by users on all other Mastodon instances in the world.

For now, this server has no special rules regarding moderation beyond the ones of common sense: do not be abusive, do not be nasty.

As the community grows, we will democratically try to set some rules of access or behaviour if needed but I trust it will probably not be necessary because everyone knows Drosophilists are kindest people.

The fly images on the site are from https://sci-flies.com/ and @veraksa.

這是一個以中文交流為主、同時歡迎全球使用者加入的 Mastodon 社群。在去中心化的世界裡,我們保留一點距離,也分享一點真實。Even when stories end, conversations can still continue.
Long description
fAiry.iD 是一個獨立的中文 Mastodon 聯邦節點,自 2022 年 02 月穩定運行至今,專注於建立一個安靜、克制、反戾氣的交流空間。

在去中心化的世界裡,人們跨越不同站點與地點相遇。
資訊流動,對話展開。
有時圓潤,有時尖銳。
我們保留距離,也分享真實。

Here, people are always present — across different sites and places. Information flows, conversations unfold. Sometimes it takes smooth wit, sometimes sharp edges. You can hold on or let go, speak sincerely or watch in silence. In this decentralized world, everyone holds a piece of truth, and keeps a piece of distance.

這裡是一些你需要瞭解的內容……

fAiry.iD pledges to follow the Mastodon 'Server Covenant', in addition to our own moderation 'Server Rules'.All are welcome here!

  • 互聯網將無數遠在天邊的人們連接在一起,另一端也是一個與你一樣擁有複雜內心世界的人。請謹慎行事!
  • 請考慮你的帖子可能會傳播很遠,如果內容可能讓某些人不適,請標註相關標籤。
  • 這裡不容許任何形式的騷擾和霸凌行為,遵守服務器規則。
  • 你奢望大眾,所有人去同意你的意見,或者同意你的表達,或者讚賞你的作品,這是一個非常法西斯的思維。
  • 唯有眾聲喧嘩、百花齊放,多年後人們才能從歷史的不同面向和各異表述之中,辨證並取回不會湮沒於時間洪流中的共同記憶。

這裡適合誰?

  • 希望遠離演算法與流量操控的人
  • 想在喧囂之外保有一塊穩定角落的人

如果你重視長期存在,而非短暫熱度,這裡可能適合你。

社群網路,還權予您。歡迎來耍!

分享你的想法從未如此方便。發佈任何你想要的東西:鏈接、圖片、文本、視頻。所有的這些都在一个能够遠離大財團和無廣告的平臺上,你甚至可以取回賬戶數據或者銷燬它。
嘟文 1984 字數上限(1984 Word limit),你可以用焦點調整你的圖片的縮略圖。也可以使用自定義的表情符號,把東西藏在警告標籤(CW)後面,並選擇誰才能看到你的發言。
本站不使用 Cloudflare 等大型 CDN 服務!(not use large CDN services such as Cloudflare.)

  • 圖片與媒體大小限制上限 20MB/200MB (Expanded maximum image and media size limits respectively)
  • 媒體分辨率上限 3840×2160 (Image resolution enhancement)
  • 投票上限允許最大 10 個候選框 (The voting limit allows for a maximum of 10 candidate boxes)
  • 已開啓 全文搜索 功能(Enabled full text search function)
  • 支援翻譯功能(DeepL translate support)
  • 在 Mastodon 默認主題的基礎上進行了樣式修改以及增加了一些可用的另類主題(Modified Mastodon theme CSS style)
  • 使用了第三方字型(Use some third-party fonts)

我們關心基礎設施,也關心對話本身。
在這個去中心化的世界裡,
每個人都握有一部分真實,也保留一部分距離。
歡迎來到這裡!

Long description
Welcome to Furs.Social, a community for furries and friends! This is a place for all members of the furry community to connect and share content. Whether you're a seasoned furry, a newbie, or just interested in the culture, we welcome you to join us.

We ask that all members be respectful of one another and follow the instance rules. This includes no harassment or discrimination. We also encourage everyone to use common sense and be mindful of how their words and actions may affect others.

Furs.Social Federates with a few hundred furry related instances, as well as a few non furry instances that might share your interests. This is all thanks to people generously allowing us in their relay servers. This means that you can search hundreds of servers for hashtags, posts, users and more!

Also check out Furs.FYI for a LinkTree/Carrd alternative!

We currently federate with the following relays:

relay.wig.gl
relay.fedinet.social
relay.furrypaws.cc
relay.asonix.dog
relay.awoo.today
relay.tiggi.es
relay.wuff.space
relay.fedi.tools

We hope you enjoy your time on Furs.Social and look forward to connecting with you!

Want to make us a banner or other artwork? DM your price sheet and where we can see your work to the instance owner. I suck at art and I think a nice banner would make this place a little warmer ^^

Donate:
Donations are always appreciated but never expected. Furs.Social will always remain free, and free from advertisements. If you would like to contribute to the costs of running this instance, we would greatly appreciate it. :3

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:

  • Images of human remains
  • Spoilers for recent popular media
  • Content likely to be of interest to only very narrow audience

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:

  • Pornographic or sexually explicit media without an explicit historical context
  • Excessively violent media without an explicit historical context
  • Anything illegal in Germany, including Holocaust denial and Nazi symbolism
  • Advertising and spam

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:

  • Include the name and contact details of the human being responsible for them in their bio
  • Respond to direct messages from server administrators and moderators
  • Not post at a rate that dominates the local timeline or degrades server performance

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
dads.cool is a Mastodon instance for dads, running the Hometown fork of Mastodon.
Long description
Hi Code of Conduct, I'm Dad!

Fatherhood is a spectrum, respect that.

dads.cool is an instance for dads; if you apply to become a user, it’s expected that you have, had, or are expecting, at least one (human) child—sorry, but pets are not children, no matter how much we love them. Being a father does not mean identifying or being labeled as a man, nor does it mean that you were involved in the conception of the child you take care of. Foster dads, adoptive dads—anyone who cares for a child and identifies as a dad is welcome here. In that spirit, dads.cool welcomes all sexualities, gender identities, races, levels of mobility, and ages.

If a user posts a message that mocks, harasses, endangers, threatens, or otherwise puts at risk any other person on the basis of the criteria above, they will be banned from dads.cool. There is not an appeals process.

Replying to Other Users

Sharing your experiences as a dad is what we’re all here to do, but take care to distinguish between “this is what worked for me” and “this is what you should do.” Whatever the intentions behind it, unsolicited advice—especially involving a user's health and wellness—is often indistinguishable from harassment and will be treated as such. This is especially true when the health or safety of children is concerned. Please ask permission before giving advice to another user.

Generally, seek to understand what a user is looking for when they post their feelings. Is it encouragement, explanation, empathy? It never hurts to ask before you post your reply.

Please use the Report button on posts you feel put our community at risk (including those that might come from other instances, but are directed at dads.cool users); it is the easiest way for an admin to identify abuse.

Content Warnings

Mastodon’s robust support for content warnings (CWs) is a valuable part of the platform. Please consider using CWs for images that might be considered “not safe for work” like nudity or sexual content, for stories of loss or injury, for video in general, and for photos with eye contact.

We do not have formal rules around what exactly should or should not be placed under a CW, but repeated posts of sensitive content without them may result in a message from an admin. Before you ask another person to CW something that is disruptive to you, consider whether one of the myriad other options for personal content moderation—muting, blocking, unfollowing, or filtering words—would achieve the result of removing that content from your own timeline.

A table of CWs in regular use around Mastodon is below:

CW Meaning ec a photo with eye contact pers intimate or personal information mh concerning mental health, with a - to indicate negative feelings and + for positive ph the same, but with physical health lewd sexually suggestive content meta referring to a wider conversation across mastodon pol political content, often localized with uspol, eupol, asiapol, etc.

Instance Blocks

dads.cool implements the open source "BLOCKchain" to block interactions with instances that might put our community at risk. Detailed reasons behind each ban can be found on the list's GitHub page. dads.cool will not federate with any instance associated with the white supremacist platform Gab. dads.cool will not federate with any multi-user instance that lacks a code of conduct or has a code of conduct that does not forbid harassment. Further domain block decisions will be posted on the admin's feed as a local-only post or discussed on our members-only Discord; an invitation will be made available to new members.

Changes to this Code of Conduct can be tracked on the dads.cool GitHub repository.
