Directory of Mastodon and related servers that operate primarily in or are targeted to a locality or region
Onboarding to Mastodon requires a judgement call about which server to join. To help this proposition, this project reviews servers that are intended to serve as geographical hubs, servers that focus on a particular city, region or country for example. This project does not track topical servers.
Server must be:
- Mastodon or Pleroma (other ActivityPub services may become in scope at a later date)
- Open for registration - this directory is to help people find a server to join, server must accept new members in some fashion
- Clearly intended to serve a particular facility, neighbourhood, city, region or country; or a specific language or family of languages that can generally be thought of as being constrained to a particular locale or region.
- any server that clearly and overtly contravenes the Mastodon Server Covenant (https://joinmastodon.org/covenant) -- Please note, public signing of the Mastodon Server Convenant is not required for inclusion
- any server that clearly and consistently is unreachable
A map of the available servers is maintained at https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/mastodon-near-me_550053
