## Disclaimer
`Following instances skipped`: number of users > 5.000, 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.

__Note__: new server additions welcome, however, this is a curated list for newcomers - for this reason second-level, human-friendly domain names will more likely be accepted than 3-level, long, unintelligible strings of letters.

__Note__: servers with closed registration may be placed only in "Notable mention" category, only if they represent well-known organizations or establishments.

Add your own themed instance via [merge request](https://git.feneas.org/feneas/fediverse/-/blob/main/source/en/portal/servers/index.md) or send a suggestion to [@lightone@mastodon.xyz](https://mastodon.xyz/@lightone) via Fediverse. If your server already has many users, it will be nice of you to let other servers grow, for a healthier decentralization.
