Mastodon is a decentralized, open-source software-based social network that operates on user servers.

What Is a Mastodon Server?

Unlike centralized social media platforms, such as Facebook or Twitter, Mastodon operates through independent servers made by different individuals, organizations, or communities.

You can choose which server (group/community) you want to join based on your preferences. Each server can have a different focus, community guidelines, user base and moderation style.

How to Join a Mastodon Server:

• Visit the website: https://joinmastodon.org/servers
• Explore the list of available servers categorized by language, interests, topics, sign-up process and themes.
• Choose a server and click on "Create account".

• Follow the server's instructions for creating an account and joining their community.

How do Mastodon Servers work?

• You can create your own Mastodon servers with unique names, rules, and appearances.
• You can create accounts on any Mastodon server you prefer.
• You can follow, reply, mention, and share content across different servers.
