A list of Mastodon Instances

Welcome to the world of Mastodon — mini social networking sites that talk to each other to make one big network called the Fediverse.

When you sign up, your username includes the name of the site you sign up on. Mine is @matt@oslo.town, for example.

Like picking an email address, you are deciding who hosts your account. When you have an account, you can follow and message people on any Mastodon site from the first account you make.

This page lists sites for you to get started on. I tried to pick out sites which have fun names and listed them alphabetically. There are also a few region-specific categories to help find your local city or country. I hope that helps.

Don’t worry too much about picking your first Mastodon site. You can always move to another at a later date.

Note: These sites have not been vetted in detail, so sorry if there are bad sites listed here. It’s recommended you do your own research before signing up.
