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.
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 botsin.space 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.
