Perqué Mastodon ?

Decide exactly where your server is hosted, in the EU, or many other approved jurisdictions - so you meet sovereignty, GDPR, or internal policy requirements without compromise.

Data Locality & Compliance

Each account lives under your domain (for example @name@brandname.social). Staff, members, or citizens become instantly recognisable and discoverable across the Fediverse, reinforcing organisational identity with every interaction.

Your Identity in Every Username

Define your own server rules and moderation standards - with no third-party or outside platform algorithm. You decide how discourse is moderated and how your messages travel.

Reclaim Control of Your Reach and Audience

Your domain. Your people. Your voices. For a resilient social network.

How It Works

Managed Mastodon

AltStore is a home for apps that push the boundaries of iOS with no jailbreak required. An announcement from the AltStore team is coming soon with more details on our partnership.

The European Commission runs an official Mastodon server to broaden public engagement across the Fediverse, support European open-source platforms, and provide a privacy-focused channel for official communications.

To strengthen public digital services and local collaboration, the German state of Schleswig-Holstein launched social.schleswig-holstein.de — an official, Mastodon server open to state administrations, public-sector companies and non-profits in the region.

Leading organisations and institutions trust Mastodon to manage their services

We handle everything - from infrastructure, security, backups, updates, moderation, legal takedowns.

Tailored for large organisations

All-in-One Managed Service

You stay in control. You can decide which services you want to run yourself, and where to get support from Mastodon.

Designed for organisations that want to stay in control

Single Service

Use your organization’s domain for account handles (for example, @name@yourcity.de). It makes every profile recognisable across the Fediverse and builds trust, just like a custom email address.

Select your domain name

Set the look, feel, and rules to fit your organizational identity. You can add a description, set branding and define relevant rules for your server.

Tailor Your Community Space

The final step is about sending invites, assigning roles if needed, and letting community members set up their profiles. You are ready to post, follow, and connect across the Fediverse.

We’re looking for developers to help build the future of online communities with Mastodon. There’s a lot to do — we need help with new features, scaling operations, improving documentation, and more — but the work doesn’t stop here. We contribute to the decentralized social media protocol underlying Mastodon, ActivityPub, and collaborate with the social web community that uses it. Join the social web revolution!

We develop and maintain software for the decentralized social web. No billionaires or mega-corporations here — we rely entirely on your support.

Reimagining online discourse

Donations go towards software development, paying essential contributors like web developers, mobile app developers, and designers. Your donations also support legal and marketing expenses to advocate for and raise awareness about the social web and Mastodon. Additionally, we operate the two largest Mastodon servers, maintained through financial and in-kind contributions. For details, take a look at our latest annual report.

Donate to Mastodon

We’re rebuilding social media so everyone can build healthy communities locally, connect globally, and own their online presence. As a nonprofit we lead development of Mastodon. We’re part of a vast network of organizations building on social web technology. Together, we’re retaking the digital town square for the people. Help us build the social web for everyone.

Support us

In the wild

Put a link to your Mastodon profile on your website or webpage. The important part is that the link has to have a <code>rel="me"</code> attribute on it. Then edit your Mastodon profile and put the address of your website or web page in one of your four profile fields. Save your profile, that's it!

Here's how

Identity is not a yes or no question. There are few truly unique names in the world, so why should only the famous ones get a "yes"? At Mastodon, we don't rely on legal names and blue badges. Instead, we rely on the fact that people can be identified by their official websites.

There is no blue badge

Verification on Mastodon

There is no need to trust a central authority. The verification can be manually confirmed anytime.

Decentralized

You do not have to be a celebrity to verify your identity. You just need to have a website or web page.

For everyone

You do not need to submit your documents anywhere, so there is no chance of them being leaked.
