What are Mastodon servers and how do they work?

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.
