A curated map of active Mastodon service providers that operate primarily in or are targeted to a locality, region, city, country, or language.
The interactive map of the available servers is maintained at http://mastodon-near.me
Onboarding to Mastodon requires a decision about which server to join and can cause unnecessary friction. The map showcases service providers with a built-in local membership and demonstrated content moderation as a way to help choose a Mastodon server.
- Mastodon or a Mastodon fork (other ActivityPub services may become in scope at a later date),
- Open for registration (including approval required),
- Clearly demonstrated intent to serve a particular facility (e.g. a university), 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 or are minority/underserved languages,
- HTTPS only,
- Over 50 active members
- Any server that clearly and overtly contravenes the Mastodon Server Covenant https://joinmastodon.org/covenant (public signing of the Mastodon Server Convenant is not required for inclusion),
- Any server that is consistently unreachable.
A separate register of regional servers is available at https://masto.town/
