#### Disclaimer
Following instances skipped: closed registration *at the moment of checking*, running old code, description not understood due to language barrier or scarce description, long blocklists, experimental servers.
Add your own themed instance via [merge request](https://gitlab.com/distributopia/masto-world-overview). If your server already has many users, it will be nice of you to let other servers grow, for a healthier decentralization.
