This is a small curated list of servers to help new users joining Mastodon and the wider Fediverse. All the servers listed have public sign-ups open, have promised to obey certain standards of reliability and responsible moderation, and have opted in to being listed here.

To get started finding a server, choose one of the following options:

Topics
Countries & Regions
Languages
Server Type

NOTE: Servers are listed on an assumption of honesty. I check each server’s rules and Local feed for red flags at the time of listing, but I don’t have the resources to do a formal audit. Please let me know if a listed server has done anything problematic.

If you need help using Mastodon and the Fediverse, see my site at Fedi.Tips ⧉

If you want to start your own server, I’ve done a guide at GrowYourOwn.Services ⧉
