This is our Mastodon instance! While hosted by @sneexy, is mainly managed by @m. This is our general information page about our instance, most info here is shared with our other instances.
Mastodon is a "microblogging"-based social networking software that connects over ActivityPub to federate over the internet with other AP-based software and instances in the world such as other instance of itself. We maintain our own minor fork of Mastodon from another fork that implements features such as emoji reactions.
If Mastodon isn't your type of software, we have a sibiling Iceshrimp instance that provides most of the Misskey-like and other advanced features while keeping out the more complex or "non-sense" features, on top of a stable, more Mastodon-compatible base. Alternatively, we also provide a Sharkey instance that's directly based off of the upstream Misskey software, providing an advanced UI and set of fun features.
This instance is invite only to ensure that things don't get out of control here, in terms of both becoming a moderation hassle and requiring heavy maintenance, as well as ensuring this instance continues to run smoothly and for the foreseeable future.
If you would like to register, and are a well-known creature of, please go beep at @sneexy or @m! You may also ask anyone else on this instance to vouch for you. Invite codes/Acceptance is not always guaranteed, but feel free to ask. Please don't let this be discouragement for asking.
We have a Signal group chat for general, random discussion as well as having direct contact with instance admins, and to serve as a place for any direct or maintenance announcements.
