You can create your own Mastodon server even without technical knowledge 🐘
There are companies that provide Managed Hosting, where you pay a monthly fee and they do all the technical stuff including hosting, installation and updates.
You own and run the server, they do the tech stuff behind the scenes.
The best managed hosting companies for Mastodon are probably masto.host and federation.spacebear.ee
It's not just Mastodon either, there are lots of Fediverse platforms and other online services available through managed hosting. Try visiting growyourown.services for more options (or follow them at @homegrown).

Masto.host - Fully Managed Mastodon Hosting
Masto.host was built from the ground up to make running a Mastodon instance easy.Masto.host
If you're currently on a massive server like mastodon.social, you might want to consider moving your account to a smaller server.
You can keep your followers when you change servers, here's how to do it: mstdn.social/@feditips/1079394…
You can find reliable servers at joinmastodon.org/communities (all the servers listed there agree to the covenant at joinmastodon.org/covenant). Try to pick one with fewer people.
There are lots of good things about smaller servers:
-Better moderation, because there are more staff per member.
-Smaller servers tend to have more personality, with a village feel.
-The local timeline on smaller servers is much more readable.
-Smaller servers protect the Fediverse as a whole from being taken over, because lots of smaller servers are harder to buy than a few big servers.
-It's easier to make a difference on smaller servers. It's easier to discuss things with the admin and other members.

If you want, you can move your Mastodon account from one instance (server) to another. Moving lets you take your followers, follows and some settings with you. 1.Mastodon 🐘
Are you the only moderator in that instance? in such a case minimum should be to leave the decision to someone else. If you decide for yourself about the moderation of yourself then I believe its pretty much an autocratic situation.

Somebody reported me to myself, y’all. How’s your day going? :)
Hint: if you don’t like my comparing Israel to Russia, go tell Israel to stop acting like Russia.
(And find out how the fediverse works before you go making an arse of yourself trying to censor me on my own personal instance.)

Listen to @liaizon tackle common questions, concepts, and misconceptions about the #fediverse on @thefinalstrawradio
Did you know the fediverse is like 13 years old?! Yet it's come so far since.

If you're #newHere or #neuHier you might like this a lot too!
One week ago I launched fediverse.info
Since then, 515 people registered and have been added to 1800+ topics!
Discovery is important, and while we strive to fill this void, our ultimate goal is to help standardize discovery across the fediverse.
Every #fedi project should have this directory! #activitypub #fediverse #fediverseInfo

erm, I thought I'd make a thing.
It's a very basic #webRing for #amateurRadio people on the #fediverse 's personal sites.
It only has itself and my site so far.
I thought it would be a cool idea to create a #lemmy #community for #fediverse/ #federation #introductions!
Problem with introduction posts is they tend to get buried after a short while and depending on how many other instances yours may know about others someone's intro may not federate that well (or fast) with the rest of the network.
Plus, some instances like #mastodon only allow 500 characters in a post. Not a lot of room to write an introduction. 🙂
This was one of the use cases and goals I had for creating federated.community to kind of provide an alternative.
Anyway, to kick things off I've posted my own introduction and you're more than welcome to post one as well.
I also thought it would be cool to allow instance admins to post an "introduction" about their Instances too, so new users to the fediverse could find a little more information out about people's instances too.
Thoughts? Is this a good idea? What do you think?

#XMPP Community
Recently a new community project started:
#Lemmy community space: community.xmpp.net/
Chat about all XMPP things in the #Fediverse!
Here is an idea:

Expand the list: fediverse, privacy, tracking, counter-tracking
While reading about privacy in Fediverse: "You will still have to evaluate the tracking status of the server you are on and can't just rely on the software it uses" https://blog.soykaf.Codeberg.org
Redo of post (now complete):
More and more #ClimateJustice groups and activists are joining the #Fediverse and they have more instances available than ever before:
forfuture.social climatejustice.global
funk.climatejustice.global
climatejustice.rocks climatejustice.social
climatejustice.video/ social.rebellion.global tube.rebellion.global
mobilizon.rebellion.global
Here is a long list of accounts:

This is an official mastodon instance for activist groups of the global climate justice movement. If you're an individual please sign-up at climatejustice.rocks instead.Mastodon hosted on climatejustice.global

I just played a bit with
#mastodonpy 👍
to analyze a thread that I started yesterday and which developed slightly above average reply-dynamics. – at least for my standards.🙂
I plan to improve the visualization and then publish the #jupyternotebook and the interactive SVG-File with links to each toot.
Give this toot a fav if you want to get informed. (I can process that via the API 🤓)

Oh look, another software anarchist, how original.
I'm part of a small software consultancy co-op based in Copenhagen. I wish I didn't have to toil under capitalism, but here we are.
I'm trying out the #fediverse experience to see if I can find more of a sense of community than the very Personal Brand focused Dunking of Twitter.
So far, it's felt pretty welcoming on here: lots of people, lots of tips on how to get started. But I have yet to find My People on here. #introduction #introductions
Friends of the #fediverse. Lots of changes coming to the #Thunderbird #email client in the next three months. Would love if you could all grab the Daily or Beta release and let me know thoughts and concerns as you watch the changes roll in.

As an alternative to FediTips, you might want to also check out @noelle's "Increasingly Less-Brief Guide to Mastodon":

It's got slightly different takes on many issues, but hopefully seeing a different perspective will give you a fuller understanding of how Mastodon works.

As a general rule of thumb, I won't follow anyone who:
• Hasn't posted anything yet.
• Doesn't have a bio
It's not that I don't like or don't trust you if you're one of those people, but because ActivityPub has no big scarey algorithm backing it, you must put actual effort into curating your feed. I imagine this is true for quite a few others on the #fediverse.
Hey Jews of the Fediverse, I'm working on a new instance for Jews called Babka Social and I'd love your help in making it great!
Please help me by filling out this form and boosting it so I can make it awesome!

The Fediverse has a podcasting platform called @Castopod which has accounts that can be followed from Mastodon etc. People can also comment, like or share individual episodes. More info at:
It has just moved out of alpha testing into beta testing, with a new interface and lots of new features.
Podcasts can also (of course!) be followed through RSS instead, if you prefer.

Sorry @matrix, normally you're number one, but this time the page gives me excitement with another keyword. 😬
So glad people start to realise you can build viable solutions on #Matrix or the #Fediverse instead of turning everything into a #blockchain microtransaction.

There have been many reports lately that Facebook is blocking links to joinmastodon.org
If you are still on Facebook, please keep spreading the word about Mastodon and the Fediverse.
If joinmastodon.org doesn't work, try posting a link to a reliable instance people can join. There are so many instances, Facebook cannot block all of them from being mentioned.
That Facebook are even doing this implies the Fediverse is on their radar, which is quite an achievement in itself!

OwnCast is a free open source self-hostable streaming platform, basically a libre alternative to Twitch, and also currently testing Fediverse support too!
There's more info about it on its website at owncast.online
The project is looking for help running an OwnCast dedicated Fediverse account. (There is currently a bot at @owncast but this just provides automated posts about streamers.)
If you think you can help with this, or want to be involved with the project in any other way, get in touch with OwnCast here:
