At the moment we accept servers running following software: Mastodon (Glitch-Soc, Hometown), Pleroma (Akkoma), Friendica, Misskey (Calckey), Hubzilla (the list *may* be expanded in the future). + +2. Only servers with open or pre-moderated registration are accepted. Servers with pre-moderated signup (a question like "Why do you want to join?" on signup) must be added to the category "Various (registration by application)". + +3. Total number of users must not be more than 5000 (this number *may* be changed in the future). + +4. Experimental new servers should not be put on the list. If you're unsure about the nearest future of your node, it's unwise to recommend it to newcomers. + +5. If your server is proxied through Cloudflare, add note *(Cloudflared)* at the end. We may list only servers with non-strict CLoudflare settings that allow our automated checker to occasionally re-visit your server without tripping on Cloudflare's captchas. As soon as a server starts using strict settings and checking fails on our side, the server will be removed from the list. + +Thank you! diff --git a/CONTRIBUTING.md b/CONTRIBUTING.md index dce76bd..5868bd9 100644 --- a/CONTRIBUTING.md +++ b/CONTRIBUTING.md @@ -1,10 +1,14 @@ # CONTRIBUTING +Please, read our [guidelines](https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fediparty/src/branch/main/GUIDELINES.md). -Don't hesitate to send a merge request or to open an issue. +Don't hesitate to send a pull request or to open an issue.
