**Unsure where to register to join Fediverse?** Choose a website from this curated list of themed servers. Currently it includes [Mastodon](/en/mastodon), [Pleroma](/en/pleroma) and [Friendica](/en/friendica) servers. Other Fediverse networks will be added in future updates.

## Disclaimer
|
|
`Following instances skipped`: number of users > 5.000, closed registration *at the moment of checking*, running old code, theme / description not understood due to language barrier or scarce description, long blocklists, experimental servers.
|
|
|
|
__Note__: new server additions welcome, however, this is a curated list for newcomers - for this reason second-level, human-friendly domain names will more likely be accepted than 3-level, long, unintelligible strings of letters.
|
|
|
|
__Note__: servers with closed registration may be placed only in "Notable mention" category, only if they represent well-known organizations or establishments.
|
|
|
|
Add your own themed instance via [merge request](https://git.feneas.org/feneas/fediverse/-/blob/master/source/en/portal/servers/index.md). If your server already has many users, it will be nice of you to let other servers grow, for a healthier decentralization.
