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 or send a suggestion to @lightone@mastodon.xyz via Fediverse. If your server already has many users, it will be nice of you to let other servers grow, for a healthier decentralization.
