mastodon-near-me

Directory of Mastodon and related servers that operate primarily in or are targeted to a locality or region

Purpose

Onboarding to Mastodon requires a judgement call about which server to join. To help this proposition, this project reviews servers that are intended to serve as geographical hubs, servers that focus on a particular city, region or country for example. This project does not track topical servers.

Inclusion Criteria

Server must be:

• Mastodon or Pleroma (other ActivityPub services may become in scope at a later date)
• Open for registration - this directory is to help people find a server to join, server must accept new members in some fashion
• Clearly intended to serve a particular facility, neighbourhood, city, region or country; or a specific language or family of languages that can generally be thought of as being constrained to a particular locale or region.

Exclusion Criteria

• any server that clearly and overtly contravenes the Mastodon Server Covenant (https://joinmastodon.org/covenant) -- Please note, public signing of the Mastodon Server Convenant is not required for inclusion
• any server that clearly and consistently is unreachable
