Synth.Download is a project managed by serveral synths and protogens to provide a collection of (some public, some private) privacy respecting frontends and web services. We strive to create a safe community for ourselves and for those who accept us.

Synth.Download is a project started in October of 2024 by Sneexy, buying the domain synth.download as it was available, and as I am a Synth. Initially, the domain was used to only used to serve a much, much older iteration of this site that was used to only provide information about myself, and ran about a handful of services only for personal usage.

Later on, as time progressed, I started running more services that I figured would be more useful, the next thing run after Iceshrimp would be our own Sharkey instance (I swear we don't only just run Fediverse instances here, Iceshrimp.NET was just too beta for our tastes), which as far as I can tell is probably our most popular service as of now.
Synth.Download has went through many server migrations between different Netcup VPS'es before finally getting off them along with various site and services improvements, and overall has started to shape into what I am proud to call as a proper community rather than being a silly site on the indie web (although, deep down, we all know it's still that).
Thank you all for being here, both users and administrators. It means a lot to me. 💚

- The servers that are responsible for housing Synth.Download are proudly hosted and provided by Lua, and are located in Canada. All services on Synth.Download are containerized within Docker containers.
- Services are split between two KVM's on two different servers, namely phosphorus, which has more breathing room and handles running our more advanced and heavier services, such as our Fediverse instances, and neptunium, which handles all web traffic and our more lighter services, such as this site you're looking at right now.
- Backups are taken nightly and stored off-site.
- For those curious about our server configurations and setups, we publicly provide them at our Git repository.
