Instances
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 or sovereignist 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.
We currently count 10,323 Mastodon instances, with 9,552,203 users (830,142 active during last month) and 1,055,348,596 published statuses. [Show Threads moderation statistics]

Expectations
Rule Violations
If you find content that is in violation of the Server Rules, please report the account. You may also take action from your own account by muting or blocking the account, or the entire domain/instance.
We actively "defederate" masto.nu from other instances that are incompatible with our fundamental rules, in an effort to protect our users. This comes from reports of users but also community discussion around such bad actors. If you find another instance that you think needs to be restricted from interacting with ours, or if you feel that another instance may have been blocked by our staff in error, please reach out to our staff directly via DM.
Instance Staff
Server Covenant
masto.nu is working on getting listed on joinmastodon.org and we are working to implement all Mastodon Server Covenant fundamental expectations for instance administration. This includes things like active moderation, daily backups, multiple staff members, and a commitment to provide notice to changes in the status of this instance.
Following Norms
There are certain "norms" of Mastodon, and the wider "Fediverse" that you'll be expected to follow while a member of this instance. This includes the use of content warnings when necessary, and the regular use of descriptive text for image uploads. Some of these norms may be different than what you're used to on other platforms. While failure to use these these are not strictly moderation worth events, we do ask that you respect and try and conform to these norms as you explore and grow on the platform.
Our Discretion
We want to foster an open discussion where everyone feels welcome. The rules are meant to be clear and direct, but the staff of this instance has ultimate discretion on how they are enforced. We may alter to these rules as needed, but will make an effort to notify you of any major change.
If you are found to be in violation, the staff may take any action they deem appropriate, such as a warning or an expulsion from the server.
Your Account
You may your close account or move it to another instance at any time. You are in control of your identity and your social graph on Mastodon (and other federated instances) but the administrators here control your ability to use this instance and ultimately to interact with its users.
In addition to regular backups we make of our infrastructure, you can backup your data and export it at any time. You can also delete your account and your data at anytime. You can even schedule regular deletions of previous posts, if that's your thing.
Data Security
Unless it's required of us to investigate a reported instance of abuse of our policies, under standard operation we have no ability to regularly access your direct messages with other members of our platform. While this data is accessible with a request to our hosting providers database systems, we expect that to not be necessary except under extreme circumstances. Where possible we will notify you if such processes are taken for data associated by your account.
However, due in part to the open and federated nature of Mastodon instances, the Mastodon administrators of other instances you interact with may have access to your data.
While the connection to this site is encrypted, this is only the data in transit to you and to other servers in the federated network. The messages and data stored in the instance is not encrypted. This includes direct messages sent to other users of masto.nu! This is not a choice of the administrator, but a limitation of the Mastodon platform. Additionally, our hosting provider may have access to your data as part of the general administration of the server infrastructure.
You should use Signal, Matrix, or another E2E messaging app for the things you really want to be private.
Please review our full Privacy Policy for more information.
Trending Features
One of the key features of Mastodon is there's no sophisticated algorithm to drive more traffic to the site, or influence your thinking. Mastodon does offer hashtag, post, and link trending features that are based solely on observed activity within masto.nu and other federated instances.
Hashtags largely trend on their own without moderator intervention, but can be removed if they are abusive or disruptive. Some links will trend automatically if they're from mainstream or other sources known to be reputable. Some posts will trend automatically if they're from known figures with a history of appropriate content. Other trends are manually approved by our staff, and only removed if they are deemed inappropriate.
Funding
It is not required to pay for continued access to your account, but if you feel obliged to help cover the cost of running masto.nu, please visit one of our sponsor pages to help keep us going.
If we exceed the minimum goal then additional funding will be used to increase capacity, or to make periodic donations to Mastodon gGmbH and other groups supporting development of the platform.

Short description
ieji.de is a generalistic mastodon instance, with the goal of being the fastest mastodon instance in Europe and with a focus on user privacy, like being usable via the tor network.
Long description
Rules of ieji.de Targeted misgendering, deadnaming, or promotion of so-called "conversion therapy" is prohibited. Harassing people in any way, racism, sexism or transphobia is strictly forbidden. Harassment includes targeted campaigns against specific people. Being a "minor attracted person" / pedophile spreading pictures of minors will get you erased and reported to authorities. Accounts mainly used for spam, porn, advertisements or backlinking are immediatly deleted. Do not break german law (no nazis or extremists allowed). Do not post erotic content without content warning. Do not spread explicit pictures or copyrighted material. Short description(TL;DR of the core values) This instance is strongly focused on user privacy, we save no IP(changing your IP with a random IPv6 before it gets sent to Mastodon), are accessible via tor and yggdrasil and use no cloudflare. We use an hilarious amount of serverpower to provide the best possible experience, please let us know of any speed shortcomings. Free speech is a precious good, but it has its limits. We ban bigots, racists, terfs and users that break german or international laws, objections are denied in these cases. Core values of ieji.de Safety Our strongest core value is to be a safe place for everyone, if we notice any kind of harassment coming from or going towards our instances, the offending accounts are suspended without parole. Security We use the latest security technology to prevent sensitive data from being accessed from the outside with systems like CrowdSec and implementing the latest TLS standards. This includes not using Cloudflare at all as this would jeopardize your privacy as a huge MITM attack vector. A sophisticated anti-ddos filter in addition to the well known Arbor Networks filter nullify most attacks. Daily full backups of the database and a daily incremental backup of media files are being made towards a different datacenter within Frankfurt. Performance Another main goal is showcasing how fast mastodon can be by deploying it on the best highest threaded machine money can buy in a one of a kind european datacenter. Anonymity The openresty webserver does not create any logs, Mastodon is being given a randomized false IPv6 each time you interact with it, the image storage is safely proxied towards the user and we have a tor hidden service address. Also accessible via Yggdrasil Network(somehow redirects to https so it requires acceptance of our cert). Also an early supporter of WirSpeichernNicht (german for WeDontStore), a movement against the data retention law that was planned earlier in Germany, pledging not to make logs. Features Whatever comes up as features at Mastodon, we implement it, we want you to have the best Mastodon experience there is, this includes: Full Text Search via ElasticSearch, Translation Service via LibreTranslate and a relay service via AodeRelay, besides some relays, crowdsec and netdata, both very heavy focused on data privacy, no external services are being used. Longevity The service is online since may 8th, 2017 and is here to stay, also thanks to the continuous support from our community. Ecofriendly This instance is hosted at Hetzner which houses the servers in the modern Falkenstein datacenter which only uses green energy. Accessibility We are adding a theme with a locally hosted "Atkinson Hyperlegible" TrueType font for better readability for the visually impaired. Threads.net is blocked via domain block and iptables drop as the company has a horrendous past and does not at all align with our idea of privacy and safety. Bridgy is blocked, as we do not want to rely on such services and rather promote using compatible standards.

Code of Conduct
Short Version
We try to handle moderation ASAP, but we may not see reports for several hours. We will get to all reports though!
We're not a free speech absolutist, and there are instances available for that. We're not interested in Nazis, TERFS, or hate speech of any sort, which we will define at our sole discretion as moderators. No homophobia, transphobia, queerphobia, racism allowed.
This instance is meant to be a friendly, welcoming space to all who are willing to reciprocate in helping to create that environment.
Long Version
The following guidelines are not a legal document, and final interpretation is up to the administration of tech.lgbt; they are here to provide you with an insight into our content moderation policies:
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.
Content Warnings and Sensitive Media
Our Content Warning (CW) policy is intended to make our server comfortable for our community. We are not trying to silence our community or police discussion, but ask that you consider those who may read your posts when making them.
Content Warnings are a feature of Mastodon that enable you to hide the body of a "toot" (post) behind a line of text. The intended use of this feature is to provide a way to discuss sensitive and/or potentially harmful topics without causing duress or harm to anyone who might stumble upon it, though content warnings may be used for a wide variety of reasons.
Images can be marked as sensitive. This is a feature which hides an image until a warning banner is clicked. Images may be marked as sensitive separately from Content Warnings, though using a Content Warning automatically marks the toot's images as sensitive.
Please note that our sensitive media rules apply to profile photos and headers as well. Since those images cannot be hidden behind sensitive media warnings, they are not allowed to contain content from enforced content warnings.
We cannot enforce content warnings on users from other instances, but can help to manage content that you see when reported to instance moderators.
Please be clear and accurate when labeling content warnings, to ensure that they follow both the letter and spirit of the enforcements that we have.
Above all, try to be polite, and come from a place of mutual respect when discussing content warnings with other. We do not condone tone policing, and want to promote healthy discussion in our community.
This cannot ever be a complete list, and so we want to keep it semi-general, and reserve the right to use the judgement of the moderation team to make decisions in the future.
CryptoCurrency/NFTs
We do not allow the promotion, advertisement, or sale of cryptocurrencies on our instance. Mentioning the existence of cryptocurrencies, linking personal accounts or addresses, and otherwise discussing them in a way that is not intended to sell or advertise a specific cryptocurrency is acceptable. We do not have any association with any cryptocurrency or other monetary transactions that happen within the server.
We do not allow the promotion, advertisement, or sale of NFTs on our instance. We do not allow content from our instance, including content and media uploaded by our community members, to be sold as NFTs.

Moderation Transparency & Communication Policy
Previously, our instance had a standard policy of withholding all information concerning moderation decisions. While this policy could be controversial, it was made based on past experience regarding moderation transparency and the safety of our members and moderators. 99% of moderation decisions are never noticed or commented upon by members, as we are doing our due diligence to protect our community from spam, scams, harassment, abuse, and general ickiness. But when those decisions are noticed, a lot of conclusions are drawn!
This transparency and communication policy is an attempt to make more clear when we take actions that affect our community, and why they were taken. It is based on a survey conducted in early 2025, which we outlined the results of in a blog post.
There is no perfect solution to a level of transparency, nor any one agreed on definition of what that even entails. While it may seem simple to say, "be transparent about everything", that is both a reductive view, and can be quite harmful. The survey showcases some of these challenges, but crucially gave us insight on where we can improve as moderators.
How We Communicate Moderation Decisions
To balance transparency, privacy, and ethical responsibility, we will follow these guidelines when sharing moderation decisions.
We will provide general transparency reports that summarize moderation activity, including:
To protect user privacy and avoid undue harm, we do not publicly disclose:
Some moderation actions are communicated based on context and who is affected:
We recognize that transparency builds trust, but it must be balanced with ethical responsibility. Our commitment is to be clear about moderation practices without compromising user safety or privacy.
Note that with all of the above, moderation is still at the discretion of the local moderation team. Sometimes the decision doesn't come down to any one specific rule breaking incident, but general patterns or an overall vibe check. We will not be coerced by other instances or users into making a specific decision that does not align with our values and goals. Our primary goal is to make this instance a safe and welcoming community to all members who find our Code of Conduct reasonable.
If you have questions about moderation decisions or transparency policies, please reach out to @mods@tech.lgbt, or email mods@tech.lgbt
Appeals
Mastodon has an appeal system for local report moderation built in. The limitations of this system are that only affected local users can appeal, and only via the original report action.
We have separately provided a private appeal form that you can use to provide feedback for us to review. This includes space to share which decisions, why you believe that they should be reviewed, and any other information that you can share that we may not be privvy to. The form is through Cryptpad, and only stores information that you enter, with no additional identifiable information.
Please note that submitting an appeal does not guarantee that a moderation decision will be reversed.
Above all, please remember that the moderators for this instance are real individuals with feelings, emotions, and lived experiences. While tensions may be high in the moment, all of us are working toward a shared space that we all want to participate in.
Appeal Form
Blocked Instances
We maintain a blocklist of instances that we do not federate with. If you believe that an instance should be added to this list, please contact an admin or moderator.
For privacy and safety of our community, we do not comment on most instance blocks that we have in place. We have recently begun sharing details on major/oft commented moderation decisions via @mods@tech.lgbt
The list is visible for logged-in members under the section Moderated servers below. While we understand that not publishing this list for non-members is not fully transparent, we are not trying to scare off potential new members who want to ensure that their friends are not blocked. The only nefarious intent here are those who have used this information when public to harass individuals and the instance as a whole. Bluntly, if those are the people that you want to interact with, you should probably join their instance instead.

This includes, but is not limited to, the following behaviors:
- Continuing to engage in conversation with a user that has specifically has requested for said engagement with that user to cease and desist may be considered harassment, regardless of platform-specific privacy tools employed.

How We Communicate Moderation Decisions
To balance transparency, privacy, and ethical responsibility, we will follow these guidelines when sharing moderation decisions.
We will provide general transparency reports that summarize moderation activity, including:
- Instance-wide moderation actions (for instance, blocking another instance due to harmful behavior).
- Trends in moderation enforcement (for instance, repeated spam patterns or coordinated harassment).
- Policy changes that affect how moderation is handled.
To protect user privacy and avoid undue harm, we do not publicly disclose:
- Individual reports or user-specific actions unless absolutely necessary.
- Sensitive details about incidents involving vulnerable individuals.
- Private conversations or internal discussions between moderators and users.
Some moderation actions are communicated based on context and who is affected:
- Directly affected users (such as someone suspended for a violation) will receive a private notification.
- Members impacted by larger moderation actions (such as an instance-wide block) may see a public announcement if relevant to the community. For instance, if there are a large number of members who follow users on a blocked instance.
- Requests for explanation will be considered, but we prioritize user safety and privacy when deciding what will be disclosed.
We recognize that transparency builds trust, but it must be balanced with ethical responsibility. Our commitment is to be clear about moderation practices without compromising user safety or privacy.
Note that with all of the above, moderation is still at the discretion of the local moderation team. Sometimes the decision doesn't come down to any one specific rule breaking incident, but general patterns or an overall vibe check. We will not be coerced by other instances or users into making a specific decision that does not align with our values and goals.

FAQ
What is Sigmoid Social?
Sigmoid Social is a Mastodon instance for people researching, working on, or just interested in AI. We went live on 11/04/2022.
Who should join Sigmoid Social?
You should join Sigmoid Social if you would like to be part of a Mastodon community primarily focused on discussing AI. We do not gatekeep who can join; it does not matter whether you are a researcher, engineer, hacker, student, artist, or just curious.
Who runs Sigmoid Social?
Sigmoid Social is administered and maintained by The Gradient. The Gradient is a non-profit and volunteer-run organization with the mission of facilitating discussion within the AI community. We were founded in 2017 by a group of students and researchers at the Stanford AI Lab. Our current projects include The Gradient Magazine, The Gradient Podcast, The Update newsletter, and Sigmoid Social.
Should I only post about AI?
You can feel free to toot about anything at all, as long as it complies with the Code of Conduct. We may however ask you to migrate to a different instance if your focus is not AI at all.
Should I only post in English?
This server supports translation, so it is ok to post in other languages than English. But, as English as the primary language here, that should ideally be the primary language you use. If you do post in other languages, please tag your posts with the appropriate language label.
Will you ban me for X?
We will take appropriate moderation measures against any violations of the Code of Conduct. We also reserve the right to take actions in the best interest of the community in situations we deem harmful but do not clearly violate the Code of Conduct. We will generally lean towards promoting free expression and issuing warning and restrictions rather than bans, but this is absolutely not a free-speech-above-all platform.
How can I help cover costs?
You can support us on Patreon or Kofi!
How can I share suggestions for Sigmoid Social?
You can message The Gradient via Mastodon, email, Twitter, or pigeon.
Where is my data stored?
Sigmoid Social is hosted by MastHost, a fully managed Mastodon hosting service provided by WAP – Web Access Platforms. WAP is a one-person company 100% owned and administrated by Hugo Gameiro. All data storage and processing is done through MastHost.
What happens if The Gradient can no longer maintain Sigmoid Social?
In the case that our current team can no longer run Sigmoid Social, we will attempt to transfer control of it to another non-profit entity within the AI community. If we are unable to do this, we will announce the closure of Sigmoid Social within at least 30 days to allow users to transfer their accounts to other Mastodon instances.
Can you access my private DMs?
The only way we can access private communications from Sigmoid Social is through exporting the database stored by MastoHost. We will do this periodically for the purpose of storing backups, and in case we have to migrate to another hosting solution. We will not inspect the database for any other reasons. Regardless, we recommend not sharing any private or secure information on this platform.
What is your policy in AI Art and NFTs?
This instance is a great fit for anyone who wants to post AI art - we fully support it. We are also OK with NFT promotion, as long as it relates to AI art and is not spammy.
Why does the banner spell out "Sigmioid"
We generated our banner using MidJourney (a text-to-image AI tool), and intentionally picked out an image that contained a typo as a little in-joke about these tools.
Recommended Practices & Mastodon tips
Here are some recommended practices for helping make Sigmoid Social a great place for everyone here:

Code of Conduct
Sigmoid Social is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone.

Recommended Practices & Mastodon tips
Here are some recommended practices for helping make Sigmoid Social a great place for everyone here:
- Browse the local feed when starting out. Mastodon has three types of feeds: home (people or hashtags you follow), local (all posts from this instance), and federated (all posts from this instance and any users from other instances that are follow by anyone on here). Until you follow some people or hashtags, the local feed is your best bet for discovering content.
- Use hashtags. Mastodon does not have an algorithmic feed, so hashtags are often used for finding content relevant to your interests. So, using hashtags will make it easier for others to find and follow you, and for you to find others as well. We list a set of recommended hashtags below!
- Use the unlisted privacy setting in replies and threads. The default post privacy in Mastodon is 'global', which gets posted to the local timeline, whereas 'unlisted' is only shown when browsing the replies to a given post. Using unlisted for most replies and threads makes the timeline less cleaner and nicer to browse.
- Look into the non-official apps for Mastodon. There are some apps not made by Mastodon that provide an arguably better frontend. Examples include Tusky and Toot!
- Consider using content warnings/content labels. The CW button when writing posts stands for 'content warning', and then you include one in your post only the text for it is shown unless a user presses a button to see the rest of the post. We recommend using it for sensitive content, but you can also use them like a subject line or TLDR as well!
- Explore Mastodon notification options. Mastodon allows you to mute various types of notifications, which can make it easier to focus on just replies and ignore favorites or boosts if you prefer to do so.
- Report any content you think might violate the code of conduct. Moderation on Mastodon primarily relies on the users reporting objectionable content, at which point our mods can take care of it. Reporting bad content will make the experience on Sigmoid Social better for everyone!
- Aim to be generally civil and friendly :)

Code of Conduct
Sigmoid Social is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone.
We want this community to maintain a fun, pleasant, and harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion. In keeping with these aims, we do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form. Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. Anyone who violates this code of conduct may be sanctioned or expelled from Sigmoid Social at the discretion of the organizers of the Gradient.
Harassment, including the following activities, will not be tolerated:
- Offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neuro(a)typicality, physical appearance, body size, age, race, or religion.
- Unwelcome comments regarding a person’s lifestyle choices and practices, including those related to food, health, parenting, drugs, and employment.
- Deliberate misgendering or use of ‘dead’ or rejected names.
- Gratuitous or off-topic sexual images or behaviour in spaces where they’re not appropriate.
- Physical contact and simulated physical contact (eg, textual descriptions like "hug" or “backrub“) without consent or after a request to stop.
- Threats of violence.
- Incitement of violence towards any individual, including encouraging a person to commit suicide or to engage in self-harm.
- Deliberate intimidation.
- Stalking or following.
- Harassing photography or recording, including logging online activity for harassment purposes.
- Sustained disruption of discussion.
- Unwelcome sexual attention.
- Pattern of inappropriate social contact, such as requesting/assuming inappropriate levels of intimacy with others. Sigmoid Social is intended to be a welcoming platform, so while friendships in support of research are encouraged, note that Sigmoid Social is not a dating platform. Flirting or other unprofessional behavior may make someone uncomfortable. If a member requests another member to stop this type of behavior and it continues, it will be considered harassment.
- Continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease.
- Deliberate "outing" of any aspect of a person’s identity without their consent except as necessary to protect vulnerable people from intentional abuse.
- Publication of non-harassing private communication.
- Impersonation with the intent to deceive users (satire is ok).
- Explicitly rude or degrading remarks in general.
