A visual map of Mastodon or compatible providers that operate primarily in or are targeted to a locality, region, city, or language.
Onboarding to Mastodon requires a judgement call about which server to join and can cause confusion. The map is intended to show local service providers as a way to inspire confidence in the choice of server.
To be included on the map the service must be:
- Mastodon or a Mastodon fork (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. Approval based service is fine,
- Clearly intended to serve a particular physical facility (e.g. university), 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,
- HTTPS only
- 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 has any kind of membership fee or required donation.
- Any server that is consistently unreachable.
The interactive map of the available servers is maintained at https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/mastodon-near-me_828094
