Following instances skipped: closed registration *at the moment of checking*, running old code, theme / description not understood due to language barrier or scarce description, long blocklists, experimental servers.
During this research I skipped following instances: closed registration *at the moment of checking*, running old code, theme / description not understood due to language barrier or scarce description, with long blocklists and strange block reasoning, experimental servers.
If I forgot to include your instance, don't take it personally. You can add themed instances by opening an issue or via [MR](https://gitlab.com/distributopia/masto-world-overview). If your instance already has many users, may be it would be wise to let other instances grow instead, for a healthier decentralization.
If you wish to be excluded from the list, kindly say so in issues.
Add your own themed Mastodon instance by opening an issue or via [MR](https://gitlab.com/distributopia/masto-world-overview). If your server already has many users, it will be nice of you to let other instances grow, for a healthier decentralization.
